Chapter 50: The Truth

When the three of us entered the painting, we also stood at the foot of the mountain, only to see the Taoist priest standing in front, asking about Zhang Yuanzhi and persuading him from time to time. There were a few people standing next to me, busy grafting Zhang Yuanzhi's bones, and busy making herbal medicines for external application, and I suddenly thought that they seemed to be virgins and boys, that is, papier-mΓ’chΓ© people.

Senior Sister Xuanji explained on the side: "This Taoist priest is dressed as a Yin Void faction, and the seal on his waist is the magic weapon that drives the paper man, as long as he stamps the seal on the paper man and casts a spell, he can drive the paper man to serve it." ”

At this time, I found that the cuffs of those paper figures really had seals.

I asked my sister, "What did you just say about the Clear Void Cave?" ”

Sister Xuanji looked up, in fact, the painting only painted a little cliff, and there was a white space above, and Sister Xuanji seemed to look at it and said: "On Yangming Mountain on the edge of the provincial capital, it was once found that there was a hole hidden under the weeds of the cliff. In addition, there is a stone tablet written on the top of the mountain for the Taoist priest Qihui, so it is speculated that it should be the retreat place of a certain Taoist priest. Later, our Zongqingguan people went over, and it was indeed the dojo of Li Qingfeng, the first generation of Zongqingguan's master, and many books and notes were found in it, among which the description was a bit eye-catching. ”

I suddenly thought of the book they had given to the master when they first came to Taoist Bay, and asked, "Did you find Daoist Qihui's "Fu Seal Collection" there?" ”

Senior Sister Xuanji nodded and said: "There are many secrets in it, we have only discovered some of them, and now that cave has been planned for Zong Qingguan, when you go to the provincial capital to practice in the future, there will definitely be a chance to take you in to see, now let's listen to what the person in the painting has to say here." ”

Zhang Yuanzhi was still telling about him, while bitterly saying that if his name fell to Sun Shan, he would really not be able to live if he lived up to Qiao's expectations.

The Taoist priest listened and persuaded at the same time. Suddenly, Zhang Yuanzhi ignored the pain in his body, knelt in front of the Taoist priest, and begged him to help, he must find a way.

The Taoist priest hurriedly refused.

Zhang Yuanzhi pleaded: "If I fall off the list, I will have nothing to love, why did the Taoist save me just now." ”

The Taoist priest said: "Doing chivalry and righteousness is a matter of poor morality, how can you just leave it alone because you want to die." ”

Zhang Yuanzhi then cried: "The Taoist is strong, and I only ask the Taoist to help me, and I have changed the answer papers. ”

The Taoist chief did not agree, Zhang Yuanzhi continued: "The Taoist can drive the paper man, presumably it is easy to change the test papers, I am by no means a greedy person, just to seek fame, take Qiao's door, if the Taoist does not believe it, you can swear poisonously." ”

As he spoke, he hugged the Taoist priest's leg and began to cry.

The Taoist priest shook his head and said: "Then I will only help you once, there will be no next time, after getting fame, you must guard one side of the people, and you must not do anything wrong." ”

Zhang Yuanzhi listened and only nodded.

This is the end of the painting, and the beginning is repeated.

Su Xuanke recited the incantation, and we went back outside again.

Senior Sister Xuanji sighed: "I think this Taoist priest is also a kind-hearted person, but alas, there are some things in this world, only zero times and countless times. Whatever is the beginning, it will be difficult to take it later. ”

At this time, we came to the fifth picture, which shows Zhang Yuanzhi wearing a groom's costume and talking with a Taoist priest in the courtyard with candles.

The inscription on the painting: Cast a peach for a plum.

The three of us stood next to the painting, only to see a Taoist priest and Zhang Yuanzhi wearing groom clothes sitting in front of the stone table, the two of them were drinking, and Zhang Yuanzhi was saying words of thanks.

After the polite words were finished for a while, I saw Zhang Yuanzhi take out a wooden box from his side, rectangular, opened, and there was a pen inside, of course, the ink painting could not see the specific color, only to hear Zhang Yuanzhi say: "The Taoist boat is tired, come here, thank you so much, Zhang can have today, it is all the blessing of the Taoist chief, this small gift, not a tribute, please Taoist smile." ”

The Taoist chief took out the pen from the wooden box, looked at it carefully, and asked, "This blue-green jade pen is really exquisite." ”

Zhang Yuanzhi said with a smile: "This extraordinary product, I can't hide it, this pen is the finishing touch." ”

Then, Zhang Yuanzhi put the finishing touch on Zhang Seng and said to the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest asked while listening: "Mr. Zhang doesn't know where to get this pen?" ”

Zhang Yuanzhi said with a smile: "Don't ask this Taoist chief, it's just a coincidence." ”

Senior Sister Xuanji analyzed: "It is estimated that Zhang Yuanzhi jumped off the cliff that day, and he must have seen the Qingxu Cave, and then went in on a certain day." ”

At this time, the Taoist priest smiled and refused: "This pen is a magic pen, and the poor Taoist naturally does not dare to accept it." It was just a helpless move to help you steal the beams and change the test papers that day, let alone give any gifts. As he spoke, he put the pen into the wooden box again.

Zhang Yuanzhi said: "Actually, Daoist, Zhang gave the gift this time, but he asked for something else. ”

When the Taoist priest heard this, he asked in a very embarrassed tone, "What do you want?" If you pray for blessings and eliminate disasters, you can do your best in the future, and you don't want to do other things, even if you are poor. ”

Zhang Yuanzhi took a sip of wine and said: "I know that the Taoist is now in Zongqingguan, and I must also envy Li Qingfeng's talent and learning, I have a few ancient books of Li Qingfeng, I don't know if the Taoist is interested in this." ”

Li Qingfeng is the first host of Zong Qingguan, and he was once by Taizong's side, and he was regarded as a national teacher.

In the words of the host: the creation of heaven and earth, the understanding of the mysteries of the world, can be regarded as a god.

When the Taoist priest heard this, he seemed to be really moved, and asked, "I don't know what I want?" ”

Zhang Yuanzhi talked about the tradition of Qiao's vertical burial, and felt that the land was by no means simple, so he hoped that after a hundred years, he could let himself and his descendants monopolize that land.

The Taoist priest was a little embarrassed, and Zhang Yuanzhi explained: "The Taoist chief can use the technique of transportation to remove the corpses of Qiao's ancestors from that place, and I will find another reason to encroach on that land." ”

This is the end of the painting, and from the back, they may have made a deal.

Let's go back to the sixth picture.

The sixth painting shows two people standing at the foot of the mountain, carrying lanterns, facing each other at night.

Painted with the inscription: Ingenuity.

The three of us stood next to us, and it was dark at night, and I saw Zhang Yuanzhi and the Taoist priest, each holding a lantern, arguing.

The Taoist priest said angrily: "We must end all this now, this is killing people, your wife is dead because of this incident, let's stop it." ”

Zhang Yuanzhi said: "We are about to succeed, and the Dao Master's spatial technique is almost achieved." Since my wife is dead, we should continue to do so, as long as we draw me and my wife in the heavenly paintings, so that our souls can enjoy the joy of family there. ”

The Taoist priest said: "You are really crazy, you didn't see it, the Qiao clan is about to be killed." ”

Zhang Yuanzhi said: "Qiao's is a dog's low-looking goods, for so many years, occupying such a good place, and not even having a talent, it's a waste." And Dao Chief, I'm not thin on you, don't you like those ancient books very much? ”

The Taoist chief seemed to want to speak and stopped, and shook his hand helplessly.

Zhang Yuanzhi continued: "Dao Chief, what kind of land is here, it actually contains such great power, my wife and I live here permanently, can we become immortals?" ”

The Taoist chief didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.

At this point, the painting ends again.

Let's move on to the next one, which is the penultimate one.

The painting is Zhang Yuanzhi painting, and the Taoist priest is standing in front of him.

The inscription on the painting: Magpie's nest dove occupy.

Zhang Yuanzhan painted tremblingly, the content of the painting, it seems to be a picture of ascending immortals, and now he has just painted a part, and the Taoist priest urged in front: "Hurry up and draw." ”

Zhang Yuanzhi asked: "Dao Chief, after I finish painting, will I be able to save my wife and children?" ”

The Taoist priest smiled: "Don't worry, I said that I will make your Zhang family prosperous, you are my great benefactor." First of all, thank you for sending me so many ancient books, practicing so many Taoist methods of Li Qingfeng, and understanding the art of space, and secondly, thank you for reminding me to cultivate immortals. We Yin Void faction, for so many years, have no fixed place, and have done so many good deeds, we want to accumulate virtue and do good deeds and become immortals as soon as possible. And as soon as you reminded me, I suddenly found that other factions chose to be on the high mountain, but it was just to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, the aura of heaven and earth, and become immortals as soon as possible. Now that such a piece of land is in front of me, I turn a blind eye. ”

Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest changed so easily, Senior Sister Xuanji said: "It's really black who is close to ink, this Taoist priest has been with Zhang Yuanzhi for a long time, and his Dao heart has long changed, and the Pandora's box in his heart has been opened, and he can't hold it anymore." ”

I really responded to the word dove occupying the magpie's nest, thinking about this Zhang Yuanzhi, for the prosperity of his descendants, for himself and his wife, I didn't want to work hard, but I was later forcibly occupied by the Taoist, and the key Taoist priest still followed Zhang Yuanzhi to learn, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest.

Such a land originally belonged to Qiao's, but it was coveted by Zhang Yuanzhi, and then stolen by Taoist priests, all of which were doves occupying the magpie's nest.

We had a painting, and only the last one remained.

Senior Sister Xuanji suddenly smiled and said to me, "Do you know why your grandfather painted these paintings?" ”

I shook my head, not yet understood.

Senior Sister Xuanji smiled: "The reason is in this last painting. ”
