Chapter 150: Phoenix Ridge, Divine Cave
Gu Tanyi frowned, and reprimanded angrily: "Is there a junior like you who talks to your uncle?!" He dared to deceive me, explaining that what he said about changing one's ways and turning to good was also a lie, and since they refused to change their ways, it would be a curse to keep them, and of course they had to get rid of the evil! Ergou, I think you have been following your master for a long time, and you have become as indecisive as your master, and you have the same woman's heart! ”
I didn't expect that I would cry for an old man named Zuo Dao, but tears still flowed down my cheeks. Maybe it's because I didn't keep my promise to save the life of the white-bearded old man. He trusted me with his life, and I failed him......
Master walked up to me slowly, sighed softly, patted me on the shoulder, and turned to shout angrily at Gu Tan, "You are crazy! ”
"You're crazy!" Gu Tan angrily retrieved his ancient sword Mo Xie, and then walked out of the cave with a shout...... "You masters and apprentices are all crazy! actually helped the side door to speak! If the evil way is not eradicated, it will inevitably bring disaster to the world, but you actually helped them question me! What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?! ”
Hearing Gu Tan's voice gradually fade away. The master turned around and looked at the corpses of the old man with white beard and the old man with the beard, shook his head, and said: "The death of the beard is the death of the evil man, and the death of the white beard also has its own sins. Let's bury the bodies of these two people, as soon as these two people die, the Longbeard Sect will be completely destroyed, and their disciples will be gone, and the name of the Longbeard Sect will no longer exist in the future. ”
I choked up and looked at the corpse of the white-bearded old man, and said, "Master, I promised the white-bearded master that he would beg you to save his life, but I didn't...... Woowoo...... Gu Tan started too quickly, and I didn't react at all...... Woowoo woo ......"
Master patted me on the shoulder again, nodded and said, "I understand everything, but presumably the White Beard Sect has expected that you can't save him at all, and he won't blame you." Don't be too sad, he can abandon evil and follow good in time when he is dying, wake up to his mistakes, good is great, and there will be a good place to go in the next life. ”
After dawn, Master and I buried the bodies of the white-bearded old man and the old man Mushu on the hillside before leaving the long-bearded faction. But from the beginning to the end, no one from the Longbeard Sect dared to appear, perhaps they had already fled, or they may have hid in the shadows, and only after we were gone did they dare to come out to worship their master. But in any case, the death of the white-bearded old man made me unable to let go of it for a long time.
Along the way, I deeply realized that even if they are sideways, they are not all obstinate, and there are also good people and good sides among them. Sometimes it only takes an opportunity to guide them, which will surely enable them to abandon evil and follow good, and become enlightened early!
What is Positive? What evil? Master said that good and evil exist in one thought, and good and evil are not in the appearance, but in the hearts of people. For example, those strange spells, from the hands of people with ill intentions, are evil arts, but from the hands of people with good hearts, they are good methods to save people. There is no distinction between good and evil, it changes with people's hearts, if the heart is right, the art can save people, and if the heart is evil, the art can harm people.
More than half a month later, a group of three of us rushed back to Phoenix Ridge.
All the way to Xiangxi, the trip to Miaojiang, in the end, we came to the place of dreams, that is, the sacred place where the major Miao villages in Fenghuangling gathered, and it is also the place where the Miao people worship heaven and earth and their ancestors. The locals call it the Divine Cave, and before we could find the location of the Divine Cave, we met three strangely dressed people at the entrance of Miao Village. All three of them were young girls, but they were dressed in clothes similar to those of Ma Xian's mother-in-law.
It seems that this kind of clothing can only be worn by people who are like sacrifices, because there are many strange runes and totems painted on it, and totems are a belief among ethnic minorities. Out of nature worship, I already know about nature worship, and I immediately asked Master, "Master, are they ordered by Mother-in-law Ma Xian to come to meet us?" ”
Master and Gu Tan also looked at them suspiciously, and soon, one of the girls smiled and saluted, and said, "Several Dao Masters, our sisters have been waiting here for a long time under the entrustment of the Great Priest. ”
When Gu Tan heard this, he immediately laughed: "Hahaha! It's rare that the old lady of Ma Xian thinks so thoughtfully, so let's lead the way! ”
The girl's face turned red, as if she didn't expect Gu Tan to speak so rudely, and directly called their respected high priest an old woman. Immediately, the girl said with some displeasure: "I wonder if a few Dao Masters can bring back those seven divine bones?" Please let me check it first, and after confirming that it is correct, I will immediately take a few of you to the Divine Cave to meet the high priest! ”
"Humph!" Gu Tan said angrily: "It's just seven divine bones, what's the big deal, since you're back, you naturally have seven divine bones." ”
As he spoke, Gu Tan took out a black wooden box from his treasure bag, and then handed it to the girl, who immediately took it with both hands respectfully, and then the three of them looked at each other and carefully opened the wooden box. Their faces changed, and the faces of the three girls were suddenly overjoyed, but soon, the girl from before asked in surprise, "Why are there only four pieces?" Where are the other three pieces? ”
Gu Tan glanced at the master and said angrily: "Naturally, it is in their hands. ”
The girl's face was even more surprised, she looked at the master, then at Gu Tan, and asked puzzledly, "Aren't you all together?" Our Great Priest has said that those who must have seven divine bones can enter the Divine Cave, you ......"
The master took out the black wooden box and said with a smile: "We are also worried about the loss of the divine bones halfway, so it is easier to keep, the remaining three divine bones are here, we came together, of course, we entered the divine cave together." ”
The girl took the black wooden box with a complicated expression, and after counting it, she was immediately overjoyed and said, "Yes, the seven divine bones are all together, so are you sure to enter the divine cave together?" But the Great Priest only promised you to take one thing from the Cave, and if you refuse to fulfill your promise after entering the Cave, we will not agree. I would also like to ask for your understanding. ”
Gu Tan said impatiently: "We are here for one thing, and I rarely look at anything else, I haven't seen any secret treasures!" ”
Seeing that the master also nodded, the girl respectfully made an invitation gesture and invited us to enter the Miao Village together. In the Phoenix Ridge, it is indeed a place where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the products are abundant, it is simply like two different worlds with the barren mountains and mountains, no wonder there are so many Miao villages gathered here, and it is really a good choice to live here. However, the three girls did not take us into Miao Village, but led us directly to a mountain.
Along the way, with the guidance of three girls, they did not encounter any obstacles, and almost smoothly came to the sacred altar of Miao Village. Behind the tall and majestic altar was a huge cave entrance. The cave is covered with various colored silk strips, and various totems are painted on the stone walls, and it seems that many grand ceremonies have been held here.
On the other side of the cave, there is a huge tree, which almost five or six people can't hold, but this tree grows very short, about a foot taller, but the slender branches on it have grown a lot. There are only green shoots growing on the twigs, and the trunk is pitch black, so you can't tell what kind of tree it is. It just adds a bit of mystery to this cave. I didn't care about visiting everything around this cave, and seeing that I could find what we had been looking for so hard when I entered the cave, my heart was pounding, and I couldn't calm down for a moment.
Seeing one of the girls holding two black wooden boxes, the disciples who came out of the cave respectfully greeted each other, led by the three girls, and we followed into the cave.
In this sacred cave, the space is huge, very spacious and bright, and there seem to be large and small inner rooms all around, but in front of an altar in front of him, a familiar figure trembled and walked down from the seat, it was Ma Xian's mother-in-law.
I haven't seen her for a long time, and this Ma Xian's mother-in-law's complexion seems to be worse, her face is sallow and sallow, and her wrinkles have accumulated several layers, especially her eyes, which are much more cloudy than when she first saw her, like an old man in her twilight years. When Granny Ma Xian saw her disciple coming to her with seven divine bones, her eyes turned red, and she immediately knelt down to greet her, muttering that she didn't know what to say, and then caught the two black wooden boxes with both hands.
Without looking back to greet us, Granny Ma Xian turned around and walked to the altar, opened the two black wooden boxes, and suddenly knelt down tremblingly, raised her hands high, and shouted loudly: "Great Chiyou God, please bless your children and grandchildren with prosperity, and your children and grandchildren will always be free from war and disease, and will always live and healthy ......."
After an exciting worship, Granny Ma Xian said a lot, I can not remember much, even if it is a few sentences, it is only the general meaning, her words are high and low, and even a few words are still Miao dialect that I don't understand, it is difficult to hear such a few words. It wasn't until late in the evening that Granny Ma Xian got up and got off the altar and retreated. At this moment, there were only three of us in the cave, and Ma Xian's mother-in-law, as well as the two disciples of Ma Xian's mother-in-law, and in addition, the remaining ten or so people all walked out.
In the cave of the gods, it was quiet in an instant!
