After eating, my sister went to the study with me to see if I could find the word in the book.

My sister told me that this kind of word should only appear in various mountain and river chronicles, so we only look for this kind of book.

When it was almost noon, the senior sister finally found it.

It is mentioned in a volume of "Topography" under "Huainanzi", and the translation is roughly as follows: There are four elephants in the sky, which are: green dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird, and Xuanwu. There are 28 constellations, each of which contains seven constellations. According to the yin and yang opposites, there is land on the ground corresponding to each constellation, which is a hidden land. And it is not to be found in feng shui physiognomy, hidden mystery, hence the name hidden mystery. The text mentions that the east is the green dragon, the sovereignty is noble, and it is known that there is a hidden mystery in Mount Tai, so the emperors of all dynasties went there to worship. Finally, he wrote that the hidden earth is the acupuncture point of the veins of the earth, which is related to the god of the earth, which is not coveted by the world.

I asked my senior sister, which Taoist priest wrote this "Huainanzi"?

The senior sister said: "This Huainanzi was not written by a Taoist priest, it was written by an ancient prince, called Huainan Wang, who has been pursuing immortality all his life. It is said that there are thousands of soldiers under his command, and he asks the immortals in various ways. ”

"Then did he become an immortal later?"

"Historically, he was later given to die for plotting rebellion. But... ”

"But what?"

"But Arino Shi said that he finally became an immortal, and one person ascended to heaven with a chicken dog, and he is talking about him."

I thought about it for a while, but I couldn't help but continue to ask: "Senior sister, don't the books say that the emperor went to Mount Tai to seal Zen, isn't it to worship the sky?" The senior sister smiled: "Sacrificing to the sky is sealing, and sacrificing the earth is Zen." ”

As we were talking, we heard the shouts of the master, and we ran out when we heard the sound, only to see that the master was wearing a Taoist robe and did not hold a sword. When the master saw us, he asked, "Did you go to Songwan to sleep last night?" Senior sister shook her head, the master's face changed, looked at me, and asked, "You spent the night here last night?" Didn't you say that you can't live here at night? The senior sister answered: "I don't want to go, so I stay." After that, the senior sister told the master about last night's incident.

The master smiled, poured a cup of tea, looked at me and said, "It seems that the little Taoist priest has grown up a little, and he will only cry his nose." ”

I smiled shyly and asked, "Master, where is our bronze sword?" ”

The master took a sip of tea and said: "Still in the Taoist temple in the town, something happened last night, I thought you went to Songwan, so you didn't come back, I just rushed back to see you today, by the way, I have to go." ”

After that, I asked my sister to go back to my grandmother's house and told me to go back to Songwan tonight.

The senior sister was reluctant, and the master said, "You were just a fluke last night." Then she insisted that the senior sister go, and the senior sister went back to the house to pack her things.

I didn't want to go back to Songwan, I wanted to go to the town with the master, and the master thought about it and agreed.

The master went to see off the senior sister first, and asked me to go back to Songwan to wear a few more clothes, and I might have to spend the night in the town.

When I got home, my parents were basking in the sun at the door, and now that the new year had just passed, the countryside was not so busy, so I told my mother that I was going to the town for the night and helped me get two thick clothes.

When my father heard this, he told me not to go, saying that something had happened on the hill behind the town.

A few years ago, my father and they were mobilized to dig the road, and the digging was the other side of the mountain behind the town, and the back of the mountain actually belonged to the boundary of Qingtan Town, but because it was to build the road to our town, after all, it was our town to send people to dig, and my father they dug for two months before the year, and now after the New Year, it is the turn of people from another administrative village to dig.

My father said that the road had been dug to the foot of the mountain, and according to the plan, after digging for a few more months, the machinery would be able to send machinery into the tunnel.

In the morning, a pile of urns was dug in the mountain, and then the wind began to blow, and the walls of the dug mountain collapsed, and several people were injured. The Taoist priests in the town were all invited, and it is said that they had just set up a table on the mountain to prepare for the practice, and the tables were overturned, and it was estimated that they had encountered something powerful.

The more I listened, the more curious I became, and I said that I had to go.

My father didn't allow it, saying I was ignorant.

The mother persuaded the father beside her: "Daoist Chen should also go, the child will follow, he will protect him steadily, and there will be nothing wrong." ”

That's when my father stopped talking about me.

I went back to the house, saw that there was no one, and pulled out the map, and the circle on the map was around there, could it be that it was also a hidden place?

"Huainanzi" said that the hidden mystery is so mysterious and powerful, why does Master Zu want to get involved in these places?

Our town is called Qingshan Town, and the town next door is called Qingtan Town.

It is mainly named because of the mountain between the two towns, Qingshan Town is steep on this side, while Qingtan Town is gentle. Although the two towns are only separated by a mountain, it is not convenient to come and go because there are only winding mountain paths between the mountains. In fact, before the liberation, Qingtan Town was not built at the foot of the mountain like Qingshan Town, but there was a distance, just because the reservoir was built later and moved to the foot of the mountain.

It is said that in the past, Qingtan was written as Qingtan, because the town was built around a pool of pond water, and later the reservoir was built, and some people were resettled in the county seat, and the other part was unwilling to go, so they moved to the foot of the mountain, forming today's Qingtan Town.

The traffic in Qingtan Town is more convenient than ours, you can take the waterway from the reservoir to the county seat, the ferry can only be reached in just over an hour, and there is a road to the next county. In our town, there is only one road leading to the county seat, and out of our town, we have to go around a big circle along the big reservoir. Therefore, the county decided to break through the obstacles of this mountain and build a road, one county also has a land road to Qingtan Town, and second, our town can also choose to take the water road, or take another road to the next county.

The road construction plan is to dig from the gentle terrain of Qingtan Town to our town, and after digging a closer distance, a tunnel will be opened.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the master came to Songwan to pick me up, carried a few bows on his shoulder, greeted my parents, and took me to the town.

On the way, the master told me about what happened in town last night.

Yesterday afternoon, when the festival was about to end, a few people suddenly came running, saying that something had been dug up in the mountain in the morning, and there was still a demonic wind, which injured a few people. So the Taoist priests waited until the festival was over, and then followed the people up the mountain.

When it was almost dark, they came to the construction site, when the wind had stopped, the master and they turned on the flashlight, and looked at the things that were dug up, all of which were small boxes, with flowers carved on them, and a group of people were looking around. At that time, the soil of the collapse had been removed, and suddenly someone found that blood was oozing from the excavated mountain wall.

The Taoist priests saw that it was too evil, so they prepared to open the altar, but as soon as the table was moved, the candle was not lit, the table was overturned, and the master was smashed by the table and injured his foot.

The Taoist priests wiped the willow leaves, but they didn't find any ghosts at all, it was too evil.

The master had never encountered such a situation, and they came in a hurry, and they didn't bring any props and magic weapons at all, even the ancestral bronze sword was still on the altar. So the master and they discussed, first let everyone withdraw from the place, and put it full of soul suppression charms during the day, and then do it to see which way of demons and monsters.

I asked the master, then why do you carry a bow and arrow?

The master said that when he saw the table being overturned last night, the burning paper floating up to the sky seemed to have touched something, so the master suspected that the demon might fly into the sky.

It is also because of this that the master discussed with the master to wait until the day to post the soul charm first, if those things can fly into the sky, it is estimated that the soul charm on the ground will not be able to control it at all.

I hurriedly asked, what should I do then?

The master shook the bow and arrow on his shoulder and said, "Shoot the soul suppression talisman with the bow and arrow, and those things will fall to the ground." ”

When I came to the Taoist temple in the town, it was full of people. The master said that because this area has been blessed by the ancestor for many years, every time there is a festival, every family sends people. He had already found Zhang Wan's family representative in the morning and talked about Zhang Ming, but the master did not mention Zhang Ming's mother, but pretended to be a dream, saying that the Zhang family should worry more about Zhang Ming's affairs. The master has some prestige in our local area, and the representatives of various families are present at the festival, and they all pay attention to face, and the people of the Zhang family are not easy to refuse, saying that they will definitely care, after all, Zhang Ming is also a member of the Zhang family.

In this Taoist temple, I saw a few fresh faces, a few strange Taoist priests.

Let's not mention that I hid in this Taoist temple a few years ago, that is, before I learned the Tao, I have seen most of the people here, although I don't know each other, how many people are familiar, after all, although Qingshan Town is large, but there are few people.

The robes worn by these Taoist priests are also a little different from ours, they have no leggings, they just wear white socks and pure yang scarves.

I asked the senior brother curiously, and the senior brother told me that those were Taoist priests in the city, because Taoist priests have their own factions and their own genealogy. Historically, we belonged to the Louguan School, but now that there are fewer people here, the Taoist priests in the city want us to merge into their lineage. And now that the sectarian concept is not so strong, the master also plans to go in with them, and wants to take advantage of the festival to discuss this matter with the master.

I muttered, the master wouldn't agree.

When the senior brother heard this, he smiled and said, "Your master agreed yesterday." ”

I was wondering when someone shouted, "The people from the mountains have returned." ”

I saw that the master led a few apprentices, limping into the Taoist temple, shaking his head, while letting the master into the inner room to speak, and at the same time inviting the Taoist priests in the city to also enter.
