Chapter 303: See the Hanging Coffin
I listened to the voices of the villagers with a confused expression.
These villagers at the foot of the Dragon and Tiger Sect trust Zhang Zewen very much, and before Zhang Zewen and their Quanzhen Taoist came here, they also helped many villagers, so they especially believed in Zhang Zewen.
Zhang Zewen frowned slightly, "When did you show up about this?" ”
"Coincidentally, it's these two days!" The villagers hurriedly replied.
One of the villagers looked Zhang Zewen up and down, and said curiously, "I haven't seen the Taoist for a few days, why is he so mature, it seems that he has experienced a lot of things!" ”
"It's true, the last time I saw the Taoist, I still had a youthful appearance, and I suddenly became mature, and I almost couldn't recognize it." The villagers were talking.
Although Zhang Zewen has changed a little from his previous appearance, his facial features are almost the same, and in the eyes of the villagers, it is just that Zhang Zewen has matured.
Zhang Zewen, who now has Zhang Heng's memory, must be more powerful than the previous Taoism.
Zhang Zewen asked them in a serious tone, "Is there a man here today, wearing an ancient robe, tall and strong." ”
"I didn't pay attention, but today I saw a group of Taoist priests walking towards Longhu Mountain, and I saw that the people who were dressed up were not from your Quanzhen Sect!" The villagers began to talk again.
"Those people are wearing black Taoist robes, and at first glance they are not Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect!"
"What's going on with Longhu Mountain lately? How many days have you been here? ”
Hearing these chatters gave me even more headaches.
There are a lot of tricky things, and now my grandfather is sick in bed, and there is no way to deal with these things, and my strategic ability is already poor, for fear of making a little mistake.
At this time, the Yinshan faction began to toss again, and the Northern Emperor still wanted to get involved.
I was on the verge of breaking down.
Zhang Zewen saw that my face was not good, so he naturally knew my current state.
He hurriedly said to the villagers, "In the past few days, you don't go to Longhu Mountain, I will deal with it." ”
When Zhang Zewen said this, the people in the village were very relieved.
Originally, several villagers asked Zhang Zewen to sit in the house, but Zhang Zewen refused one by one, and took Bai Xiao and me to set off for Longhu Mountain quickly.
We walked all the way to Longhu Mountain, and only halfway up the mountain, we heard a strange sound from the mountain, like something howling.
The three of us looked at each other.
Bai Xiao frowned slightly, "This voice, it seems that you have heard it somewhere, don't you think?" ”
"It's quite familiar......" I looked at Bai Xiao a little confused.
The low roar of this beast seemed familiar, but for a moment I couldn't understand it.
Zhang Zewen's eyes suddenly gathered, "The ancestor of Yinshan came out of the mountain, and there is no trace of him yet, but the Taoist priest of the Yinshan Sect is coming here, indicating that his purpose is either the territory of Longhu Mountain or something here." Emperor Beitai was able to get the news so quickly, but the people who had been outside at that time were the people of the Xuanmen family, and even my grandfather Zhang Jingzong was a ...... who came out later. ”
"What do you mean, you suspect that someone from the Xuanmen family secretly revealed the news, so you let the Northern Emperor come here?" I looked at Zhang Zewen curiously and asked.
Zhang Zewen's eyes were extremely cold, and he said after a few seconds, "Bai Xiao and I have been hiding outside, and their behavior can be seen clearly. At first, I did think that they were here to compete for the territory of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, but now it seems that maybe it is to win the creation. ”
"Creation!?" I was shocked.
Creation is also a kind of life, the dragon qi in my body is the dragon qi creation of Zhang Daoling's escape from Qi Yi, after I captured the two of them, my ability increased significantly, and it did change my fate.
"So, this Dragon and Tiger Mountain has dragon qi creation?" I asked curiously.
Zhang Zewen looked up at Longhu Mountain, "Longhu Mountain, Litai Mountain goes west for dozens of miles, turns south, divides into two branches, encircles like a dragon and a tiger, and it is not strange that the dragon qi is created here, but the people in the villages and towns have said that they have heard strange sounds in the past two days, and it seems that there is something in the mountain!" ”
"It could be dragon energy!" It dawned on me.
When Taoism flourished in the Longhu Mountain area, there were ten Taoist palaces, eighty-one Taoist temples, fifty Taoist temples, and ten Taoist nunnery, and its prosperity can be seen. However, since the Han Dynasty to the present, Songhai is commonplace, most of the palaces have long been abandoned, and the only preservator is the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
We went to the top of the mountain and the Heavenly Master's Mansion before, and we never really saw the whole picture of Longhu Mountain.
For Longhu Mountain, it is only a half-understanding.
If you really want to finish Longhu Mountain, that day and night are not enough.
We searched for the location of the sound, and before we knew it, we were at the back of Longhu Mountain.
The scene in front of us completely stunned us.
The whole mountain area behind Longhu Mountain, the peak is steep and steep, the rock wall is smooth and flat, and the foot of the rock is the Luxi River.
There are also countless strange-shaped caves on the entire cliff, and what is even more amazing is the dense coffins hanging on the mountain.
At first glance, it is simply stunning.
"Why are there so many hanging coffins!" I couldn't help but exclaim.
In the historical materials left by the Servants and Qiang people, the Servants believed that the corpse of a person should not touch the ground after death, otherwise the soul could not ascend to heaven, and the hanging coffin burial could make the soul of the deceased ascend to the fairy world; The Qiang people also believe that hanging the deceased in the hanging coffin of the cliff can make the body hang in the air, the soul can be lifted, go to the heavens and the earth, and obtain divine power, so as to protect the descendants. Zhang Zewen said to me in a flat tone.
I was stunned, "And this strange statement?" ”
Zhang Zewen nodded, and continued, "The hanging coffin has endured thousands of years and is immortal, and it is precisely because the soul has ascended to the immortal realm that the corpse has been protected by the gods, and the thousand-year-old coffin has been magically preserved. There are also some superstitious legends, the corpse in the hanging coffin takes the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and has been cultivated into a demon after thousands of years. ”
"Roar! ——。 ”
The roar of the beast came again, and I could tell clearly that it was coming from within the cliffs, and countless sounds came from these caverns.
Bai Xiao looked coldly at the hanging coffin in front of him, "How can ordinary people have the ability to let the coffin hang firmly on the cliff?" ”
"Is it a spell?" I asked.
Bai Xiao said in a serious tone, "These coffins are all made of single-root nanmu, and there are many different shapes of house-shaped coffins and boat-shaped coffins, the big ones weigh more than 1,000 catties, and the lightest ones weigh more than 3oo catties." Chen Tian, don't you think it's strange? The place where the hanging coffin is placed, from the top of the peak, to the bottom of the water or the empty valley, there are tens of meters or even more than a hundred meters, and there are extremely steep stone walls up and down, left and right. ”
"What kind of person is so awesome, hanging so many coffins here, what is the purpose?" I asked curiously.
"This is the strangest thing, if someone with a very strong spell, what is the purpose of putting these coffins on it? People with this ability, I'm afraid that in that era, they are even more awesome than Zhang Daoling, right? Bai Xiao said.
Also, I have seen Zhang Daoling, who has only come into contact with the Dao Law, he is not so powerful, and it is only after he has cultivated the Tao step by step that he gradually explodes.
And these hanging coffins should have existed in the era before him.
"I can hear the voice, but how can I get in?" What I'm most curious about at the moment is this question.
The three of us looked around for a long time, but we could not find a way to really get in, when we heard the constant roar of wild beasts coming from inside the mountain.
"Since the Taoist priests of the Yinshan Sect have all come here, it means that they are also here, but there is no trace of them around here at all." Bai Xiao lowered his head and pondered, and said earnestly.
"Maybe we can go to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to take a look, we can't go up these rocky cliffs, and those Taoist priests of the Yinshan Sect can't go up, they definitely don't go from this side." I said immediately.
Zhang Zewen and Bai Xiao also agreed with my idea, and we walked in the direction of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
Since this Taoist priest of the Dragon and Tiger Sect went to the Yin Division, the entire Dragon and Tiger Sect could not see a single shadow of the Taoist priest, as if it had been deserted.
After the three of us walked in, it was obvious that the Sanqing Hall where we entered was filled with fragrance, and there were large and small burdens around it.
"It seems that they entered from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, which means that there is a secret passage in this place that leads to the mountain." Zhang Zewen said in a serious tone.
