Chapter 1: Wedges
Somewhere in Zhongzhou
It used to be the location of the famous Xu capital of the Three Kingdoms, thousands of years of time flowed through this land, and now the traces of the Three Kingdoms have long been washed away, leaving only a Xuanlong Temple built in the Jin Dynasty is still famous.
This view is rumored to be the Taoist famous "hug Puzi" Ge Hong presided over the construction, the rumor is no longer testable, but the incense is prosperous, all the requests are allowed, but it is passed on by word of mouth in ten miles and eight towns.
On March 3, the birthday of the Taoist Zhenwu Emperor, the pilgrims who came to the Xuanlong Temple, which was already in its prime, were in an endless stream today, lined up for several kilometers. Most of the people who come to Shangxiang are some old people, and few young people believe in ghosts and gods, but the crowd is mixed with a young man dressed in modern clothes, and he queues up patiently with the incense team.
The young man was crowded in a group of aunts and aunts, obviously disgusted, his brows were wrinkled into the word "Sichuan", and his cultivation skills were not bad, and he did not have any complaints. It was not easy to get into the door of the Xuanlong Temple until the third pole of the day, and everyone else was in a hurry to burn incense and ask for a signature. The young man walked to the booth at the door with a leisurely face, and sat down with a loud voice.
The person in charge of unsigning was an old Taoist priest with gray hair, who was inserting his hands into his robe with his hands in his robe, closing his eyes and recuperating, hearing the movement, he opened his eyes slightly, looked at the young man, and said, "The young man has no signature in his hand, what do you want to solve here?" ”
The young man lined up all morning, and he was not angry, licked his dry lips and glanced at the Taoist priest, and replied, "Yi has Taiji, the first two yi, the two yi give birth to four elephants, the four elephants give birth to gossip, gossip determines good luck, and good luck gives birth to great cause." “
The old Taoist priest listened to the young man's words, his eyes widened suddenly, and he replied, "The gods are immortal, can you believe it?" ”
The young man replied, "Everything is cloudy, what is not there, the way of immortality, is nothing?!" ”
After listening to the young man's answer, the old Taoist priest suddenly became very excited, and said in a trembling voice, "Please, please, may I ask where is the master in the county?" ”
"Dong family, Dong Er!" The young man walked up to the old Taoist priest and said, "Master Zhang, I'm here to find you!" ”
The old Taoist priest who was called Mrs. Zhang burst into tears for a moment, choked up and said, "It's been so many years, so many years, I thought that Junwang had forgotten my old bones." “
"After the cultural catastrophe, the power of the county has collapsed, and many things can not be taken into account, and I really owe you a lot, I can't hide it, I came this time to take away what Ge Hong left behind." Dong Er swept away his previous tiredness and forced his eyes to look at Mrs. Zhang, his eyes blazing.
Only then did Mrs. Zhang stop his tears, nodded like pounding garlic, "It should be, it should be", looked around, and saw that the pilgrims were still pouring into the Xuanlong Temple, and his eyes flashed, "This is not the place to talk, follow me." “
Mrs. Zhang led Dong Er to a secluded corner of the Zhenwu Hall in the Xuanlong Temple, and then said again, "The things that Ge Hong buried, Junwang wanted to get it a few years ago, but the formation of Tianlei City was set up in this view, unless it was the time of the Seven Stars Alignment, there was no way to enter, did you know?" ”
After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, he looked at Dong Er, his eyes were rolling, as if he was questioning whether this young man understood or not.
"The star official of Tianlei City, shaped like a rope, means a heavenly fortification, used to guard the tomb unheard of. However, with the apparent magnitude of these thirteen stars, let alone the naked eye, even with the help of astronomical telescopes, it is not so easy to see, and the alignment of the seven stars is a rare celestial phenomenon in a hundred years. Isn't today the day of the Seven Stars? Dong Er talked eloquently and was full of confidence.
Mrs. Zhang said with relief, "Before you came, I was still worried, I missed this seven-star alignment, the old man can't wait for the next time, he is anxious, you came, but you said, in broad daylight, we can't see the seven-star alignment!" ”
Dong Er looked up at the sun in the middle of the sky above his head, and said indifferently, "No matter day or night, the stars are there, and you can't see them during the day just because they are hidden in the glare of the sun, and if you can't see them, it doesn't mean that they haven't happened." Is there a place where yin qi is heavy in the view? “
Mrs. Zhang thinks that he knows a lot about Kanyu, but when it comes to astronomy, he is a little weak, and he was stunned by Dong Er's words, and wondered, "How can there be a place with heavy yin qi in the feng shui pattern of Taoism?" ”
"If you think about it again, there is absolutely yes, Ge Hong buried things here, but he didn't destroy them, he didn't think that he would be taken away one day, and he would never leave a trail."
Mrs. Zhang frowned and thought for a long time, knocked on the door of his head and said, "There is really no place with heavy yin qi, but there is an old locust tree that has grown for hundreds of years in the forest in the backyard, and the locust is a wood ghost, which is somewhat far-fetched, is this counted?" ”
Dong Er said that so far, he can only try.
The two avoided the pilgrims who were incense and came to the backyard of the Guanzhong, where a large number of flowers and trees were planted, which was the daily residence of the Taoist priests in the Guanli. In the middle of the yard, a large locust tree with lush branches and branches that need to be hugged by several people is very eye-catching.
Dong Er came to the big locust tree, circled around the locust tree a few times, and recited the words, "Too high on the stage, the strain will not stop." Exorcise evil spirits and protect your life. Wisdom is clear and the mind is at peace. The three souls are eternal, and there is no loss of soul. ”
Mrs. Zhang heard that this was the Heart Purifying Mantra among the Eight Great Divine Mantras, and hurriedly said, "Hurry like a law." ”
After the two finished reading, the big locust tree that was originally leafy withered in an instant, and it was only a few breaths, and the big locust tree hugged by several people seemed to be dead for a long time, and there was no anger at all.
Mrs. Zhang was dumbfounded, and muttered, "This, what's going on?" “
"Old man, I'm afraid this locust tree has died a long time ago, but it's just a little anger in the formation of Tianlei City to confuse you and me!" Dong Er was very calm, and pulled Mrs. Zhang, who was still in a daze, to the bottom of the big locust tree that had become a dead tree, and when he looked up, there was a conspicuous depression on the thick trunk, which was actually a tree hole, this tree hole was surprisingly large, and it was no problem for adults to enter and exit, but it was dark inside, and it was impossible to see what was there.
Mrs. Zhang is very old, and he has been doing the work of unsigning in the Xuanlong Temple for decades, and he has long lost the courage of his youth, and he was a little stunned when he saw this tree hole, and before he could retreat, he was pulled into the tree hole by Dong Erqiang.
The two of them did not carry any lighting equipment, and the moment they entered the tree hole, Mrs. Zhang just wanted to scold, how could the young man be reckless. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was directly stunned and stood in place.
Inside the tree hole is a living room for cultivation, the wall is lit with ever-bright lamps, there are bookshelves on both sides, there are bamboo slips and paper books on the bookshelf, stacked neatly, the opposite wall is engraved with the symbol of innate gossip, under the symbol is a bed, there is a person sitting on the bed, but it has been weathered into a dry bone.
When I looked back, the outside of the tree hole was also dark, as if it had been isolated by something, and it seemed that this otherwise ordinary room was very strange.
Dong Er didn't pay any attention to the situation in the living room, walked in front of the dry bones, pulled out a palm-sized stone slab from the dry bones' hands, took it in his hand and gently rubbed it, "It's not a matter of effort." ”
"Don't be happy yet, have you thought about it, it was so easy for us to get it, from the Jin Dynasty to the present, the Seven Stars Alignment has appeared at least several times, why hasn't anyone taken things away?" Mrs. Zhang suddenly asked.
Dong Er was stunned by the question, and in a daze, Mrs. Zhang took the opportunity to grab the stone slab and quickly retreated to the exit of the tree cave.
Dong Er reacted, forced his eyes at Mrs. Zhang, and raised his fist and was about to attack, "Old immortal, you dare to rebel!" ”
Mrs. Zhang looked at Dong Er with contempt, no longer had the previous promise, and read, "The world's divine soldiers, the essence of gossip, reaching the heavens and the earth, entering and exiting the netherworld, I am pious today, please come down, take charge of the underworld, and command the Yin soldiers." While reading, his hands were sealed, and the dry bones sitting on the bed suddenly exploded, as if he had a spiritual wit, and attacked Dong Er.
The dry bones seemed to be fragile, and when he slapped him, Dong Er took it hard, but he felt that his arm bones were almost broken, and he grinned for a while. Mrs. Zhang was not in a hurry to leave, stood at the door and watched Dong Er and the dry bones fighting, and sneered, "Dong family boy, how about my Divine Summoning Spell?" ”
Dong Er didn't pay attention, and was scratched on his face by dry bones again, bursting with a string of blood flowers, and roared angrily, "Don't be fucking proud!" As he spoke, he tore off his shirt, revealing his sturdy body, and saw that Dong Er's upper body was full of tattoos, which didn't look like a pattern, but more like a special-shaped Chinese character, and the carved dragon and phoenix danced a little pleasing to the eye.
"Hengjiang set up a net, catch it all, suppress the evil spirit, and Zhenwu is here!" Dong Er roared, and at the same time, his hand made four vertical and five horizontal movements in the void, and the originally flexible dry bones suddenly seemed to be bound by an invisible net, and they couldn't move in an instant.
When Mrs. Zhang saw the tattoo on Dong Er's body, a cruel look appeared on his face, "Sure enough, I can't leave you!" ”
After Dong Er finished performing, his body seemed to be under a huge load, and he couldn't restrain his feet. At this moment, Mrs. Zhang suddenly took out a three-inch-long dagger from his robe, and suddenly nailed it to Dong Er's waist, and it didn't sink into the handle.
Dong Er turned around and clamped Mrs. Zhang's neck, but the heavy bleeding in his waist finally made his arm loosen a little bit, and he could only barely let out a faint sound from his throat.
"Why?" Mrs. Zhang punched Dong Er's temple, looked at Dong Er's limp corpse, and said with a look of regret, "Immortal Dao Guisheng, Ghost Dao Gui Dao, I thought you knew." ”
