We hurried back to the old man's courtyard, and as soon as we reached the middle of the courtyard, we heard the voices of Wang Qianmo and Mingyue Shibo from the north house.

The two of them were chatting happily, and the beautiful ghost exorcist next to them was also listening with a smile, which corresponded to the old saying "three women in one play". There was a smell of green onions in the kitchen, and the old lady was supposed to be making breakfast.

"Senior sister, let's leave quickly! The province is asking for trouble...... "Old Uncle Huang said what happened this morning in a few words, and Uncle Mingyue nodded slightly when he heard it.

"Then hurry up and eat, and everyone will go their separate ways after eating!"

The old lady brought a pot of noodles, and everyone was hungry after tossing all night, so they were not polite, they each picked up a bowl, copied the noodles and ate them. The exorcist is also a human being, and after a period of tossing last night, he consumed extremely physical strength, and he was really hungry.

While eating, Old Uncle Huang asked the old man, "Who is this yard?" You've lived here for two years, so it's not like you're occupying a private house, right? ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "We are both old people, and we eat Yin family food, what do you want this house to do?" This is another of my apprentices, and two years ago their whole family was killed by the locust tree spirit, and we swore to avenge him, so we lived in this courtyard. ”

In fact, I have always wondered, although this valley is a mountainous area, it is not remote, why is there a thousand-year-old locust tree essence?

Worried that the people in the village would come to find trouble, as soon as he finished eating, Uncle Huang urged everyone to leave quickly.

The old man said: "The two of us will not leave, after all, we have lived here for two years, and we have become the people of this village, so we should be ...... Guard our poor apprentice's home! ”

As soon as the six of us went up the hill, we heard a noise behind us, and it was supposed that the people from the village had arrived.

The three men each carried a bag of luggage, in fact, the weight was about the same, Uncle Huang and the mustache seemed to be very easy to carry, and their faces were not red and their hearts were not beating, but I was already tired and out of breath after walking for more than ten minutes.

"Little evil, your physical strength is far behind, as a Taoist disciple, good physical strength is the foundation, you have to practice!"

Half an hour later, we went around the place where the collapse had occurred before.

"Let's divide it here! We are going to take the two apprentices back to Sheephorn Mountain, what are the plans of the two friends? Old Uncle Huang put the luggage on his back on the ground and took a deep breath.

The young beauty exorcist glanced at me from time to time along the way, and then simply looked at me directly: "I...... I don't know where to go! Speaking of which, I'm not a ghost exorcist, but I studied with my father for two years, and after he was killed by a ghost, I was inspired to hunt ghosts and exorcise evil spirits! Right now...... Now I've let it go, everyone has their own life, and they can force it!! ”

Lao Huang nodded and glanced at Uncle Mingyue: "Senior sister, either let her go to Sheephorn Mountain to live for a while!" I can just accompany Momo, and I also want to teach her something, otherwise she won't be able to bear it if she encounters something a little powerful! ”

Uncle Mingyue nodded in agreement.

As soon as she heard this, a smile immediately appeared on the face of the beautiful ghost exorcist: "Really? That...... That's great! After speaking, he looked at me again affectionately:

"My name is Liu Ruyan, and I ...... this year 24 years old......"

The mustache smiled: "I opened a feng shui restaurant in Qingshi Town, thirty miles away, specializing in exorcism of ghosts and evil spirits, in fact, this time here is purely a coincidence, I was originally passing by - now I have to go back to the store, I have delayed making money!" ”

The mustache arched his hand, said goodbye, and left.

The five of us still used the last method, I and Uncle Huang hid behind the rocks on one side, this time there was more beautiful Liu Ruyan, and took the initiative to stop several cars in ten minutes, but unfortunately it was either a small car, which could not fit the five of us, or it was a car that pulled goods, and it was inconvenient to sit people. Finally, fifteen minutes later, a large van pulled up in front of them.

Like last time, the driver was originally smiling all over his face, but after seeing me and Uncle Huang, he instantly turned into a bitter gourd face.

The five people got out of the car at the foot of Sheephorn Mountain, and then walked along the winding mountain road for another two hours before they came across a Taoist temple. It is said to be a Taoist temple, but it is actually a courtyard house in the style of ancient architecture, and the door of the hall reads "Qingyun Temple".

"That's it! This is where Senior Sister Mingyue and I practice, and you have been living here for the time being. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a bronze key longer than an adult's finger and inserted it into the hidden lock hole of the door.

The courtyard is not big, but it is extremely clean and simple, there are three pines and cypresses in the middle of the yard, which are isosceles triangles, and there is a small pavilion in the middle of the three pines and cypresses. In search of prestige, I saw a small stream more than a meter wide under the pavilion, and the water flowed out of the stone crack on one side, flowed under the pavilion, and then disappeared (there must be a hole in the ground that seeped into the ground).

It's an ingenious design, and it's not an exaggeration to say it's ingenious.

On the vermilion stone pillars on both sides of the pavilion, there are four block letters, the right side is "the breeze is coming", and the left side is "the water wave is not xing", and the pen power is profound.

I looked around, and the courtyard was also very well designed, with a total of fifteen houses, five in the main house, four on each side, and one on each side of the gate.

All the houses are bluestone buildings, and at first glance you can tell that they are at least 100 years old, so well-preserved ancient buildings are actually not common in modern times.

"Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, just the two of you here, use so many houses?"

"It's all left by the ancestors, besides, don't underestimate our Qingyun Temple, every year there will be many Taoist friends who come here to exchange and learn, not always so lonely."

Hearing the three words Qingyunguan, I feel a little awkward, there are white clouds and black clouds in the sky, where are the green clouds? asked Uncle Huang about the origin of the name.

Old Uncle Huang smiled: "The word Qingyun actually existed in the early Ming Dynasty, and it is said that the Qingyun Concept comes from the Qingyun Sect. ”

"Qingyun Sect? I've only heard that there was a White Lotus Sect in the Song Dynasty, and the Wudang Sect was established in the Ming Dynasty, so why haven't I heard of the Qingyun Sect? ”

"The Qingyun Sect and the Wuwudang Sect were established at about the same time, and for more than 100 years after the establishment of the sect, they all went hand in hand, but about three hundred years ago, the sect leader at that time encountered an incredible thing, and since then, the Qingyun Sect has consciously reduced itself, until today, only me and my senior sister are left."

According to Uncle Shi, the word Qingyun does not refer to the cyan cloud, but a person, that is, the founding ancestor of the religion, and the leading idea of this religion is very special, and it is the pursuit of "the unity of heaven and man".

After hearing Uncle Shi say these four words, I almost laughed.

This realm of "the unity of heaven and man" was first proposed by Zhuangzi, and later in the Western Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu further developed, which basically means that man and nature are essentially connected, so all people and things should conform to the laws of nature, and have achieved harmony between man and nature.

In fact, Lao Tzu also mentioned this kind of thinking, he said, "Man is the law of the earth, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature." ”

The reason why I almost laughed was because for 2,000 years, this was just a realm of Taoist thought, and to put it bluntly, it was very empty and ethereal, so how could it become the dominant ideology of a sect!

Uncle Huang knew that I was a college student, so he naturally knew the origin of these four words, and he motioned for us to enter the Taoist temple hall first, and explained: "The "unity of heaven and man" pursued by our Taoist school is actually not just a kind of thinking of being a man, but a specific goal to achieve. ”

The hall is long and narrow, and facing the door of the hall is a sculpture of an old man with a thin and long beard, about two meters high, not only not majestic, but also very funny.

Old Uncle Huang said that this is the founding ancestor of this religion, Qingyun Daoren.

I don't know why, I looked at Qingyun Dao Chief's face a little familiar, but I couldn't think of where I had seen it for a while.

"Kowtow to the ancestors first!" Uncle Huang lit a stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner in front of the statue, and the three of us leaned down and kowtowed three times on the futon in front of the statue according to Uncle Huang's request.

"Kowtow, you all belong to the disciples of the Qingyun Sect - of course, Liu Ruyan is my registered disciple. The rules of this religion are according to the order of the oldest and youngest children according to the time of entering the church, so if you calculate it, Xiaoye is the senior brother, and Liu Ruyan is the little junior sister. This religion attaches great importance to the 'order of the elder and young', and the junior brother and sister must respect the senior brother and the senior sister. ”

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't hold back my laughter, and Liu Ruyan's face turned red.

"Laughing at what? A rule is a rule! Okay, I'll take you to visit some of our temples first! ”

Among the fifteen houses in Qingyunguan, we have entered twelve rooms, among which in addition to the dormitory of Uncle Mingyue, there are two rooms that we are not allowed to enter, according to Lao Huang, now the three of us can't see the things in these two rooms.

In the end, Uncle Shi assigned me a room in the east wing, and Wang Qianmo and Liu Ruyan were in the west wing.

"The lunch will be made by my old uncle first, you should familiarize yourself with the environment first, and then this kind of thing will be handed over to you young people!"

Less than an hour later, Uncle Huang called us out to eat, just now I saw a room next to the kitchen, in which there was a large table large enough for seven or eight people to eat, but as soon as I went out, I saw Uncle Huang put the food on the stone table in the small pavilion.

"It's not cold yet, let's eat here at noon today! It's kind of a catch for you! ”

I glanced at the food on the stone table, there were five dishes and one soup in total, including three plates of green vegetables, including bamboo shoots, cabbage, and radish, and two plates, one plate of bacon with sauce and fragrant, one plate of fried bacon, and a small pot of sauerkraut soup in the middle.

"Let you taste my Lao Huang's chef skills, this meat and vegetables are all natural, there is no shortage of food in the mountains, you will also learn some in the future!" Let's sit down.

The staple food was rice, and I ate two large bowls in one go, and Lao Huang, who was distressed about the food, glared at me several times. One is that I ate too hurriedly in the morning, I didn't eat too much, and coupled with the bumps along the way, my stomach was already empty; The second is that Uncle Huang's meal is indeed delicious.

"Little evil! You take it easy—I'm okay at this craft, right? This is elk meat, which I caught in the back mountains, and this water is also a sweet spring in the mountains, which is much better than the mineral water in the store for one or two dollars a bottle! ”

After eating, Wang Qianmo and Liu Ruyan consciously went to wash the dishes and chopsticks, while Uncle Mingyue and Uncle Huang called me to the hall alone.

"Little evil, don't lose the two books your grandmother left you!"

I nodded, "Here it is!" I can't lose it."

She then said: "That's how I planned, everyone was tired some time ago, so let's take a week off, and you can use this week to memorize the two books." ”

"A week? I ......"

"Enough, I'll teach you our unique memory method, if you have a better understanding, you can remember it in three days."

Old Uncle Huang continued: "Before you officially cultivate, do you still have any doubts in your heart? ”

Doubt? I thought about it, and suddenly thought of Wang Xiaoni, so I asked: "Wang Xiaoni's soul has always been in this piece of black jade, how can I save her?" ”

Lao Huang nodded: "Actually, the so-called saving her has two meanings, one is to help her repair her soul, and then send her into the three reincarnations and reincarnation, just like the mother and daughter before." ”

"Huh? Can't it be like the last time? ”

"You mean 'borrowing a corpse to resurrect a soul'?"

"I ...... I just want her to be ...... the same as before."

Master Mingyue continued: "There is also a method like this, but it is ...... It's just that it's very painful, and you still need to see her ...... creation."

As soon as I heard that there was a way, I was happy in my heart: "What a way, difficulty is not a problem......"

Master Mingyue smiled and replied in a suppressed voice: "She no longer has a body, if she wants to reshape her original body, she needs enough Yin Spirit Qi. ”

"Yin Spirit Qi? What is the aura of the Yin Spirit? ”

"To put it simply, it is a kind of yin qi generated by the emperor of more than a thousand years, as long as that Nizi's soul absorbs enough of this yin qi, it has the ability to reshape the original body with its own mind."

"An emperor who has been dead for more than a thousand years? Where are you going to find this? ”

Lao Huang smiled bitterly: "Count, from the Yao Shunyu period to the end of the Tang Dynasty for more than two thousand years, the so-called emperors are only a few hundred, plus the leaders of the surrounding ethnic minorities and tribes, at most five or six hundred, so it is a lot, but you must know that most of the emperor's tombs have been stolen, and the bones have long been gone!" ”

When he said this, the flame of hope that had just been ignited in my heart was immediately extinguished.

Uncle Shi said again: "Little evil, the thousand-year-old black ant king you mentioned before should have been eaten by you, and my senior sister and I also saw a record of this kind of ant king from an old book of this sect twenty years ago, if it is really as described in the book, you are not a mortal body!" ”

"You mean it's a good thing that the big ant got into my stomach?"

"It can be said to be a great thing, and it is definitely a good opportunity for 1 in 100,000! Haven't you already felt the changes in your body? Lao Huang smiled at me.

Changes in the body? I was stunned for a moment, and said in my heart: Could it be that my night vision and hearing are much better, and my physical strength is extraordinary?

Lao Huang saw that I didn't know why, and shook his head with a smile: "This thousand-year-old Black Ant King can stimulate the potential of the body, increasing people's sensory ability, strength and speed several times. ”

Yes! Although I had already guessed that the changes in my body were related to the giant ant, I was still shocked to hear Uncle Huang say it.

"Is there a time limit for my ability?" I asked.

Old Uncle Huang shook his head: "The black ant has actually melted into every cell of your body, and has become your own ability, and there is no time limit, and its effect is estimated to be less than one-tenth of what you are experiencing now." ”
