Chapter 396: Shangmao Mountain
This great effort to make such a Taoist statue in the belly of Longhu Mountain, it is absolutely impossible to just recruit some ordinary evil spirits, if he really makes it, the consequences are unimaginable.
"Why didn't you say it then?" Zhang Long asked with a dark face.
"Longhu Mountain is not as peaceful as imagined." Xu Lai sighed and said.
If Xu Lai had said this before, Zhang Long might not have thought so, but after what happened to Wang and Ma, he could only be silent.
"Today, the marrow washing pool is changing, and all the gods in each hall are shaking together, all because of this thousand statues?" Bunraku looked up at the statue and asked.
In fact, there is no need for Xu to answer, everyone also knows that it must be because of this.
The position of this Thousand Thousand Dao statues is built very exquisitely, just pressing on the Qi veins of Longhu Mountain, which can be said to affect the whole body.
The easiest way to completely eliminate this scourge is of course to destroy this statue, but with the current situation, it is almost impossible.
This statue of Dao implicates the entire Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and the slightest carelessness will destroy the entire Dragon and Tiger Mountain.
"This formation can suppress the Dao statue for the time being, but someone needs to guard it, and Lao Zhang will rely on you in the future." Xu said.
In the Heavenly Master's Mansion, as much power as there is, there is much responsibility.
The more dangerous and urgent things are, they are all borne by the head of the sect.
In the past, Xu Lai guarded this place, but now that he abdicated and Zhang Long succeeded him, this burden will naturally be handed over to him in the future.
It's just that back then, except for Xu Lai and Tang Tang, no third party knew about this matter, and everyone in the Heavenly Master's Mansion only knew that Xu Zhangjiao was taking care of the affairs of the mansion in an ordinary way, and how could they know that he had to guard this extremely fierce place day and night in private, and bear the safety of Longhu Mountain with all his might.
One can imagine how great the pressure will be!
And as Wang Ma and the two showed their feet, the Heavenly Master's Mansion seemed to be unprosperous, but in fact, the situation of the turbulent undercurrent was gradually revealed.
If you want to keep such a turbulent Heavenly Master's Mansion stable for five years, how can it be so easy?
Zhang Long's face couldn't help but get darker and darker.
Xu Lai explained the matter of the formation again, and then retreated with Wenle and Qu Ruyan, while Zhang Longzhang stayed inside and continued to study how to use the formation to suppress the Dao statue.
After returning to the Hall of Eternal Life, Qu Ruyan said with a smile: "Sect Leader, you abdicated so quickly at that time, wouldn't it be that you had already made up your mind to pick a son?" ”
"I think it's possible." Bunraku also looked at it.
"What do you think, there is nothing?" Xu Lai said very calmly.
Wenle and Qu Ruyan glanced at him, but they didn't believe it.
After Xu Lai said goodbye to the two elders, he returned to the marrow washing pool. Zhao Xiaomin was waiting there, and when he saw him coming back, he immediately greeted him.
"Master, are you alright?"
"It's not a big deal, you keep practicing." Xu said.
"Oh." The little girl nodded, and went back to meditate and pranayama.
That night, when the water in the marrow washing pool boiled again, Zhao Xiaomin sank into the water, and after a while, his head came out of the water and said, "It's back to normal." ”
Xu Lai told her to continue practicing, while she turned over on the rope and continued to close her eyes and breathe.
He seems to have nothing to do every day, but in fact, he is not idle, taking advantage of this rare leisure, he can run the Yin Yang Bottle Hidden Body, regulate breathing and refining qi, and make up for the damage of the blood contract.
After more than half a month, Xu Laigo said hello to Wenle and Qu Ruyan, and took Zhao Xiaomin out of the marrow washing pool, preparing to leave Longhu Mountain.
Liu Ying rushed over when he got the news, pulled his clothes reluctantly, his mouth was flattened, and he almost cried.
"How old are you, and you still cry all day long." Xu Lai said with a smile.
"That's because the master and the master spoil me." Liu Ying said with red eyes.
"Collect it in the future, don't run rampant in the house." Xu said.
"What's the matter, the master is laughing at others!" Liu Ying hugged aggrievedly, "I can be much more restrained now, it's against that Deng Yingying, I'm so fierce!" ”
Xu Lai couldn't help but laugh and said, "The world has not been peaceful recently, follow your master to learn spells well, and be careful yourself." ”
"Hmm." Liu Ying held back tears and responded.
She sent the master and apprentice all the way to the mountain gate, and Da Zhuang and Mu Er were still there looking at the mountain gate, and when they saw them coming, they greeted them in a hurry.
However, when they heard that Xu Lai was leaving, the two of them immediately wilted.
Later, Xu said that he would come back often to see them, and they turned sad into happy.
"Sect Master, has the world been unstable recently, many elders and disciples have been outside and have not returned." Mu Er asked with some concern.
Xu Lai said: "Indeed, you should also be careful. ”
Several people nodded in response.
Mu Er thought for a while, and then said, "Recently, Zhang Zhangjiao doesn't seem to be quite right, his eyes are often red, and he seems to be very tired. ”
"Zhang Long is still very diligent, there have been a lot of things recently, you have to help well." Xu Lai said seriously.
"Oh, that's it." Everyone was stunned.
After that, Xu Lai took Zhao Xiaomin and left Longhu Mountain.
This way down the mountain road, although Zhao Xiaomin is still a little weak, but compared to before, he is much better, his face is a little ruddy, and he jumps and follows Xu Lai.
In the past month, Xu Lai has received a lot of information, including Chen Duo's, Gao Xiang's, Sun Muyu's, Cai Fei's, and Xu Chengcheng's...... There are all kinds of news.
On the whole, the current situation is not too optimistic, and there are anomalies in various places, and there are frequent bad things.
Not only were several Ninth Divisions operating at full capacity, but various sects of the Shumen sect also sent disciples out of the mountains to patrol various places.
The only good news is that Jiangning City, which was in turmoil before, has now become the best and most stable place under the concerted efforts of all parties.
In terms of feng shui pattern, Jiangning is the important place of the mouthpiece, as long as Jiangning is safe, most places will be stable, even if there are small winds and waves, it will not cause too much catastrophe.
So no matter what, Jiang Ning can't afford to lose.
As for Xu Jiao, I heard Xu Chengcheng secretly report that he was very close to Ge Tianhong, and he went out early and returned late every day, but he was obviously still used as a gunman by the other party.
However, Xu Lai had already asked Hua Wuji for this matter, with him in Jiangning Town, even if Ge Tianhong had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to make any tricks.
In the evening of the same day, the master and apprentice got on the train again.
"Master, are we going back?" Zhao Xiaomin looked out the window and asked.
"Tired?" Xu Lai asked.
"Not tired." Zhao Xiaomin shook his head.
"Then we'll go somewhere else."
"Okay." The little girl smiled happily.
The destination of the train is in Gorong. After coming out of the station, Xu Lai took Zhao Xiaomin to stay in the local area for one night, and the next morning he took her to another famous Taoist mountain.
Maoshan is the ancestral court of Maoshan Zhengdao, located at the junction of Gourong and Jintan.
Although Xu Lai is the head of the Heavenly Master's Mansion and has always lived in Longhu Mountain, he is no stranger to Maoshan Mountain, and took Zhao Xiaomin to climb from the foot of the mountain.
This way only to see the strange rocks and strange stones stand densely, the large and small karst caves are deep and secluded, the green trees cover the mountains, the green bamboos are luxuriant, the winding streams are vertical and horizontal, the scenery is pleasant, and the Danxia style of Longhu Mountain is a completely different scene.
Over the ages, Maoshan has always been regarded as the first blessed land of Taoism.
In the Tang and Song dynasties, Maoshan Sect reached its peak, the front mountain and the back ridge, between the peaks and valleys, the palace, the view, the hall, the Yu and other various Taoist buildings up to more than 100, more than 5,000 houses, there are "three palaces, five views, seventy-two thatched hermitage" said.
It's just that after a hundred years of catastrophe, Maoshan was burned down by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, many Taoist temples were destroyed in one fell swoop, and only the "three palaces and five views" remained.
Later, the foreign invaders, the Central Plains was in great trouble, and the Maoshan Daomen was destroyed into ruins.
It's just that compared with other sects destroyed in the war, the Maoshan sect is lucky, to ensure that the incense of the sect is not extinguished, and then rebuilt the "Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace" and "Yuanfu Wanning Palace" in the three palaces, collectively known as Maoshan Daoyuan.
Yuanfu Wanning Palace is located in the south of Maoshan Jijin Peak, and it is also where the ancestral court of Maoshan Zhengdao is located.
Xu Lai took Zhao Xiaomin with him, but he did not go to Yuanfu Palace, but after passing through the Star Gate, he turned north, crossed Taiji Pond, and went to Xiaomao Peak.
Xiao Mao Peak is not like the Jijin Peak for the Maoshan faction, the disciples are tightly guarded, this way over, the forest is forested, the mountain road is secluded, and there are no people coming and going, it is a good place for Qing Xiu.
After the master and apprentice passed through several mountain ranges, they climbed up, and saw several houses on the peak waist of Xiaomao Peak, with blue bricks and black tiles, hidden among the green bamboos, looking like an ink painting, quiet and serene.
