Chapter 171: Against the Current
Chen Xuanming held the master hostage and observed Liu Bo, but he didn't care too much about me, who was already seriously injured.
I used the method of leaving the soul to insert the head of the broken sword into Chen Xuanming's soul.
He likes to sneak attack, and I ended his soul with a sneak attack.
As the ancestor said, he will govern others in his own way.
The reincarnation of heaven has been tried and tested.
Chen Xuanming's soul became thinner, the sun began to sprinkle on the earth, I hurriedly returned to my body, saw Chen Xuanming's soul, and finally completely disappeared under the sunlight.
More than 30 years have passed, and since the ancestor set up the sealing stone, there is only fog here, and the sun has never been seen again.
When the oath is broken, the return of the Wolf King is doomed, and new rules are to be established.
After the Hellflowers were brought here, they were able to survive because of the hidden power of this place.
When the Cryptic Land was collected by Su Xuanke, and the sunlight shone down again, the Flower of Hell began to wither, and finally turned into a black powder, disappearing into the air.
And the trees that were able to move withered and died.
And the sick people in the villages on the other side of the commune were quarantined and taken to the province for research, and they wanted to find an antidote to the flower of hell.
Actually, I'm worried about whether there are people from the Gen organization here who are preparing for the gates of hell by developing an antidote.
However, I am just a small Taoist priest in Qingshan Town, and I don't have much source of information.
The matter of Langshan, when it comes here, is over.
Liu Bo will stay in the hinterland of Langshan, and he will work hard to find a balance between humans and wolves, establish a new oath, and protect Langshan.
In fact, I still have questions in my heart, why the ancestor clearly discovered this hidden place back then, but he no longer marked it on the map.
It seems that there is a purpose in setting all this.
Linking all the things, it can be inferred that Master Zu knew the purpose of the expedition and knew that someone coveted the hidden land.
In the past, I thought that the design of the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall was to persuade the Taishibo, but now it seems that it is more like testing the descendants of the Louguan School.
He deliberately took away the finishing pen and painted the portrait of Zhuangzi in his dream, probably hiding the lost scroll in the painting with the finishing pen.
Finally, I left the finishing touch here.
All of this seems to be telling the descendants of the Louguan School that there are external forces.
He seems to be cultivating a person, a Taoist priest of the Louguan School, in order to protect this place, to protect the hidden land, and to protect the mountainous area.
Sometimes I even wonder if Master Zu is good at deduction, has it been calculated until now?
And I, will I be the person he wants me to be?
Later, I opened the note left for me by the Rat Priest, which said: The balance between the Daomen and the Gen Organization has been broken, and soon, Qingshan Town will become a battleground for both sides to prepare for entering the Gates of Hell.
In fact, I have already thought that what should come will come after all.
Since it can't be avoided, it's better to face it calmly.
When I left Langshan, I said to Liu Bo that when I was going to the gate of hell, I would come to Langshan again, collect the souls on the wolf's den mural into jade, bring them to the mountain gods, and wash away their sins and reincarnate again.
In fact, I have grown a lot through this incident.
There are evil and good in the world, there are people and demons, and everyone's purpose is just survival.
I no longer reject who I am, and I no longer fear that I will be in the game.
Since God gave birth to me, I have the meaning of my existence, how can I deny myself because of others?
As the young man said, why should I be like everyone else?
Back in Daoist Bay, I continued to be my little Taoist, but the master didn't ask me too much about it, and I had grown up.
When it was time for the Chinese Valentine's Day, I would hold the red paper of my sister's hair, and burn it under the osmanthus tree with me and my sister's eight characters.
When I encountered these things, I felt the danger of the world, and I hoped that the goddess in my heart, senior sister, could accompany me for the rest of my life.
On the day of the Midyear Festival, the master set the table by the rice field and let me drink with him for the first time in my life.
At that time, a cool wind blew from the mountains.
The master coughed from time to time, but he still drank wine, and he knew that his time was short.
He told me some little stories about Master Zu, about the will of Master Zu, the descendants of the Louguan School, who had to guard the mountains, which is why he has been staying in Taoist Bay.
From the master's words, I learned that Master Zu once entered the gate of hell and stayed there for a while, and as for the specific details, the master did not know.
I once went into a dream and looked up the notes in the Codex of my grandfather, and there was no mention of the gate of hell.
The entire codex notes, described, are basically all kinds of Taoism, and the ancestor seems to be deliberately hiding something, as if waiting for future generations to find the answer by themselves.
While chatting, the master suddenly mentioned that it seemed that it hadn't rained in Qingshan Town for a long time.
That's when I realized that it was.
It was the rainy season at the end of summer, but the whole mountainous area seemed to have turned yellow.
The master slowly voiced his worries and said, "The people outside have already realized the existence of the Hidden Place, and Su Xuanke and they have already begun to do it. Where should we go from here? ”
Then he glanced in the direction of the mountains, where the moon was shining and it was dark.
The master continued: "I recently went to Huaishuwan and found that the ancient tomb there had indeed been touched, and it seems that what Chen Xuanming said was not all false. ”
I was shocked in my heart, did he want me to take the initiative to explain something when he said this?
But then, he shook his head self-deprecatingly and said, "I'm old, and I'm really a little powerless." I don't care what you've experienced in Zongqingguan, get here, forget about it. If you don't want to continue to be a Taoist, go back. ”
However, I am already deeply involved in the situation with the Gen organization, how can I leave?
The master poured me a glass of wine and continued: "The Louguan Sect has decayed like this, although the ancestor has been assigned to protect the mountainous area, but he is powerless. When I die, you can leave here, and if you want to cultivate, go to your master, and don't follow Su Xuanke and them. ”
My heart was full of pain, knowing that the master was worried about me, and after his death, he didn't want me to die in vain at the hands of Su Xuanke and them.
I comforted him and said, "Master Zu left us a dream, hoping that our descendants can inherit his legacy, how can we give up easily." ”
So saying, I drank the wine.
The sorghum wine in the countryside, mixed with bitterness, burned my throat and stomach.
I've never understood why so many people are obsessed with something so hard to swallow.
When the master heard my words, he smiled and said, "The whole article of the Tao Te Ching only tells one truth, that is, the Tao is natural. Everything has its own rules, and since the Louguan School is dying, why should we bother to guard here. ”
I shook my head and said, "The death of one thing heralds the birth of another." Since the old Louguan school has withdrawn from the stage of history, why can't there be a new Louguan and appear again. ”
When the master heard this, he laughed and said, "You have learned to be able to speak well." ”
We talked for a long time, and what he meant was that he still wanted me to leave here, and he knew that if the outside world entered, I would definitely be involved, so it was better to give up the path of cultivation and become an ordinary person again.
But I insisted on staying, because in my heart, I would be the last glory of the Louguan School.
The night is getting darker, the full moon is already in the sky, and it is almost time.
The wind on the mountain is getting stronger and stronger, and the master's cough is getting worse and worse.
I persuaded him to go into the house and rest, and he shook his head and looked at the moon in the sky.
The master suddenly said to me solemnly: "Since you are not willing to leave here, it is only a matter of time before you are drawn into a fight, and now, I will tell you the biggest secret of the mountains. ”
After speaking, he looked at the river below the rice field.
For thousands of years, this river has flowed and never stopped, just like time, like the continuation of the morality of the Louguan School.
The master said softly: "When you were in Langshan, you should have heard of the gate of hell, which is a story left from ancient times, but after liberation, because of superstition, it was gradually forbidden to talk about it, and finally forgotten. ”
I already knew about the Gates of Hell, and I knew that the purpose of the expedition was over there, and said, "You want to tell me that the Gates of Hell do exist?" ”
The master nodded and said, "The Gate of Hell not only exists, if you look at the river under the rice field, have you always been curious about why it flows from west to east. ”
"Because, this river flows out of the gates of hell, and every year during the Midyear Festival, the gates of hell are opened, and the spirits of the dead can freely pass through there, return to the world, and receive the sacrifices of their relatives."
After saying that, he handed me a willow leaf and wiped his eyes.
I saw in the distance, on the side where the river flowed out, countless white plain-clothed undead, with umbrellas, escorted by mountain ghosts, were walking downstream along the river.
