Chapter Twenty-Three: Entering the Heavenly Master's Mansion Alone 2
Liu Cheng listened to the sweat and came down, "I have naturally heard of this, Tao Zhongwen who is with him has been awarded the young master, and he is still a young master, a young master, a young treasurer, one person receives the title of three orphans, and is awarded "Gongcheng Bo", and he is paid 2,000 stones every year. You two are also from the Shangqing Palace, so what is your relationship with Shao Yuanjie?" He sweated, not because he was afraid of anything else, but because he thought that there was also a mysterious Heavenly Master Mansion in the capital, I don't know what it would have to do with here, and the old Taoist who was driven crazy, and Lin Ziyan, who was employed at home, didn't know what it had to do with the two in front of him.
"Listen to him brag, he can carry this bit of belongings so completely, it's not for his convenience to brag in front of outsiders. I don't even remember that much. Although we are cultivating in the Shangqing Palace, do you know how many courtyards and Taoist priests there are in the Shangqing Palace?"
"I don't know, then I have to ask the Taoist chief. ”
At this time, the head of the Shouyan Dao had already put on his clothes and straightened his sleeves, "Uh-huh, hmm....." Cleared his throat. Liu Chengxin said that this is the Taoist chief, is he going to sing, or whatever.
"The Great Shangqing Palace can be called the first of the Taoist palaces in the land of China, Longhu Mountain has ten major Taoist palaces, eighty-one views, thirty-six Taoist courtyards, and the Shangqing Palace and Doumu Palace alone have twelve palaces and twenty-four courtyards. At its peak, there were no less than 3,000 Taoist priests, and the pavilion palace was stacked with forests, and the cornices looked at the horns and beasts. Thousands of years of incense continuous, is the Taoist paradise, the princes rely on, can be said to be all living beings look up, their hearts to the Tao. ”
Liu Cheng almost didn't laugh when he heard it, and said in his heart: I also said that my junior brother is good at blowing, but you yourself are not the same.
"So, we and Shao Lao have really met, after all, is it our uncle. Of course, the boulder was still young at the time, so he probably doesn't remember. Shouyan Dao Chang stroked his beard and said.
"Okay, okay, I don't remember, it's been almost more than thirty years since he left the Shangqing Palace, and no one can remember it. Besides, he has already traveled west with a crane, why do you mention him. Hu Laodao said angrily.
"Hey, I said Hu, but you mentioned it first. ”
Liu Cheng saw that the age difference between the two was more than ten years old, and they were almost a round, so as soon as they started a verbal battle, they followed the strings, and hurriedly interrupted, "I asked the Heavenly Master's Mansion, why did the two of you talk about your Shangqing Palace." ”
Both of them turned their heads and looked at Liu Cheng in surprise, "Why don't you understand?" The Heavenly Master's Mansion and the Shangqing Palace have a great relationship. The two are very close. ”
"I just want to know where the Heavenly Master's Mansion is. ”
"Then you said it earlier, I will take you tomorrow, go to Shangqing Palace, pass through the Heavenly Master's Mansion, it will be in Shangqing Town, we will set off in the morning, if the horse is fast, we may arrive in the afternoon." Lao Hu said.
As soon as Liu Cheng heard about it, Shangqing Town had heard that if Fluttershy flew over with me, I should be able to find out tonight. "Do you know where Fluttershy went?"
"Fluttershy should go back to her room, right? He's taught us both this kind of luck, it's amazing, and we won't be afraid of the cold when we go to a cold place in the future. ”
Liu Cheng and the two say goodbye and go to Fluttershy's house, but there is no one inside. I don't know where he took Gao Rui.
When it's time for dinner, Fluttershy returns with Gao Rui and buys him a lot of things to eat and play.
Liu Cheng said that he wanted to have a treat, but Lao Hu was not polite and ordered a lot of Jiangxi specialties, and because Fluttershy didn't like spicy food, he and Gao Rui ate a lot of snacks they bought.
Liu Cheng didn't sleep well all night because of his bad stomach at night, and he fell asleep in the morning.
The next day, everyone hit their horses and went straight to Longhu Mountain, and the journey was smooth.
To the area of Longhu Mountain, only to see the Luxi River water green, bamboo rows and boats, ospreys flying, it is really a good picture of green water and green mountains, the mountain is not high, there are immortals are famous, the water is not deep, there are dragons and spirits, maybe it is said here.
In the afternoon, when it was almost dusk, I arrived at Shangqing Town, only to see that the ancient town was quiet and lush, by the mountains and rivers, it was really a good place for self-cultivation, passing by the Heavenly Master's Mansion, only to see the left, middle and right, the gate of three openings, the momentum was magnificent, the gray tiles of the Zhumen Gate, the carved beams and painted buildings, from the outside, you know that this place is not ordinary.
Hu Laodao pointed with his hand, "This is the Heavenly Master's Mansion, don't you get off the horse and go to have a look?"
"I've seen it, let's talk about it tomorrow, let's go to Shangqing Palace first today. Liu Cheng waved his hand and said.
"It's okay or not, it's almost home. ”
Shangqing Palace is only two miles away, just east of Shangqing Town.
When he came to Shangqing Palace, Liu Cheng knew that the two senior brothers were really not bragging, they were really full of palaces, with extraordinary momentum, pine and cypress, birds flying and singing. But seeing the sunset in the west, the mountain is more leisurely, and the temple is high and the tree bell is ringing. The bird flies and the road leads to the palace, and the cultivators sing endlessly.
There are not only many Taoist priests there, but many of them seem to be of high rank and gorgeously dressed. The most interesting thing here is that there are still the relics of the lower horse pavilion and the past dynasties, and it is really the royal palace that is more imposing, leaving the literati willing to pour ink.
Because of the evening, Hu Laodao arranged for Liu Cheng and them to stay first, and then introduced the master tomorrow.
At night, Liu Cheng waits for Gao Rui to fall asleep and goes to find Fluttershy. When Fluttershy learns that Liu Cheng wants to visit the Heavenly Master's Mansion at night, she is very upset, "Are you hiding something from me, so decent, why do you want to visit the Heavenly Master at night? You and I are both out, who will take care of him, and if something goes wrong, how can I explain it?"
"It doesn't matter, are there two Dao Masters, because I heard from others that there are zombies in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, so I'm curious, and I think there may be something strange in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, why don't you take me to fly over and come back after a while." ”
"What's so nice about a zombie? I really don't understand you people, okay, let's go and get back quickly, and give you half an hour at most to investigate. ”
So Liu Cheng instructed the two Taoist chiefs to help take a look at Gao Rui. He and Fluttershy leave the inn.
The Hu Daochang thought that the two of them were going out on a date at night, looked at their backs and said, "People may already be a young couple, you see how close the relationship between the two of them is, envy!"
"Did you take the wrong medicine? You have always been like a stone to women, why are you moving now?" said his senior brother angrily.
"I hope that there will be an immortal with me, how long the road to cultivating immortals is, how can mortals be able to realize it overnight. Hu Laodao shook the big pu fan in his hand and said with emotion.
Putting aside the two of them, Fluttershy and Liu Cheng come to a place where no one is, "Hold me tight this time! Be careful to shake you off. Fluttershy says mischievously.
"Okay, I'll take care to hold you tight, don't make a mistake in the direction. Liu Cheng thought to himself, even if you fly slowly, I have to hold you tightly, otherwise I will fall into a meatloaf.
The two of them flew over the Heavenly Master's Mansion after a while. Liu Cheng tells Fluttershy to land in a deserted place far away in the backyard of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Fluttershy stands on a large tree and waits, telling Liu Cheng to go and get back quickly.
Liu Cheng responded, and went to the backyard to perform the light skills that Fluttershy had taught him, moving like a rabbit and leaping like a tanuki, and then put on the roof in two clicks, and he hid in a large hall where he could see an empty field below. According to Xiao Zhezi, zombies appeared around here.
Fluttershy gave a short time, if she didn't see zombies, it would be in vain today, Liu Cheng was just about to go down and explore everywhere, when he heard a "click" sound, only to see a chubby figure jump out of a moon door, his feet jumped forward, and made a clicking sound, sure enough, it was a zombie, normal people don't walk like this.
This zombie is a little fat, his hands seem to be held on his chest, and his feet jump and jump, like a big fat insect that has pressed a spring, jumping vertically, but it is not clear why it is a "click" sound, is this zombie wearing wooden shoes.
I saw that the zombie was drawing eight characters in the yard, jumping around constantly, and jumping faster and faster, and after a while, Liu Cheng's eyes were dazzled.
The zombies were actually divided into several figures, as if a bunch of zombies were jumping. Liu Cheng was surprised, "Speed Shadow Clone", what a speed. The master once mentioned this kind of light skill, but no one seems to be able to practice it. Could it be that this zombie is a martial arts master?
After a while, sparks appeared on the ground, just like meteors everywhere, and the zombie actually let out a terrifying laugh. Liu Cheng was so frightened that his cold hair stood on end, his hair was fried, and he smelled a smell of burnt wood in his nose.
Suddenly, I felt that the night sky above my head was a little shiny, and a huge bright moon appeared on my head, and a huge palm stretched out from it, like a woman's hand, and went straight to Liu Cheng to grab it.
Liu Cheng hurriedly performed light skills, twisted his waist horizontally, leaped to the right, and then "swished" a few jumps, and escaped from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and shouted under the tree where Fluttershy was resting. "See, call it a day, and go. ”
But there was no one on the tree to talk, Liu Cheng felt another light behind him, not good, he didn't look back, this time he jumped up, jumped to the left, and jumped almost higher than the top of the tree. I only heard the sound of the wind behind me, and a huge hand had already grabbed the big tree, and with the loud click, many thick branches were broken hard.
Fluttershy was better off not in the tree, Liu Cheng was secretly anxious, and turned around to draw his sword, which was a slash, but the giant hand was long gone, and the bright moon was gone.
"This bright moon hand should be the Song family's stunt. Fluttershy's voice suddenly appears behind her, startling Liu Cheng.
"Thank goodness you're not in the tree. It freaks the hell out of me," Liu Cheng is very happy to see Fluttershy.
"I just went to the river for a stroll, and picked up a stone on the riverbed, this stone can shine in the moonlight, it's really fun, take it back to Xiaorui to see. ”
"Alright, let's get out of here. lest there be trouble again. Liu Cheng said anxiously, he was very jealous of this bright moon's hand, he first saw it in a dream in Zhaojiacun, and he only thought it was a dream at the time, and he didn't expect that there would be such a magical thing in reality. ”
"Now that you know the dangers of breaking around at night, come and hug me. Fluttershy, of course, was happy to go back, took Liu Cheng with her, and flew into the sky with a whoosh, faster and faster than when she came.
"Be careful of hitting the stars, you don't need to be so fast, so high. Liu Cheng was frightened.
Fluttershy didn't say anything, and in an instant they arrived near the Shangqing Palace, where they landed in the dense forest on the mountain, and walked a long way before they arrived at the Shangqing Palace.
After twisting and turning, he finally found a place to live, and the Taoist priests on duty at night did not ask when he saw them, which made Liu Cheng very puzzled.
When he arrived in Liu Cheng's room, he saw Hu Laodao sleeping next to Gao Rui, snoring like thunder, while Gao Rui was holding a ponytail pulled off the dust and poking Hu Laodao's nostrils. When he sees Liu Cheng and Fluttershy come in, he is embarrassed and grins and steals fun. "Daddy, sister, you're back. ”
"Liu Rui, you naughty child, how can you do that to Uncle Hu?" Liu Cheng said pretending to be angry.
"I don't know when he came, but the snoring woke me up. ”
"Rui, what did you see my sister brought you?" Fluttershy pulls out the stone.
"A stone, what's strange?" Gao Rui took it and fiddled with it in his hand, fiddling with it, but he didn't see anything strange.
"What's so strange?" Fluttershy blows out the oil lamp.
The stone glowed slightly blue-green in the moonlight from the window, and this light was deep and soft, and the light was not bright, but it made the room clear and playful.
"It's a real treasure, it's so much fun. Let's call it a moonshine gemstone. I don't know if the light outside the window is blocked, is it still bright?" Xiao Rui said, and got into Hu Laodao's quilt.
Then he got out and said loudly, "It's amazing, the light is bigger, and it can shine the mud on Uncle Hu's navel." ”
"What, what?" Hu Laodao sat up suddenly, rubbing his eyes that hadn't woken up in a daze. "Why are you all here, did I just fall asleep? ”
Seeing that Gao Rui was leaning forward and leaning back, Hu Laodao also felt very embarrassed, he was obviously coming to see the children, but the room was full of people, and he didn't know it.
