Chapter 714: Thirty Miles to the West
At that time, Master once said to me that our lineage of integrity is used to save people. Well, inheritance is used to save people, and over the years, I have come to understand more and more what Master meant back then.
In fact, the inheritance of our upright lineage does not refer to those techniques, but to a tradition and responsibility formed over the past thousand years. For example, when I was preaching and teaching to the ghost baby, I actually had very few opportunities to teach, because I didn't know much about the techniques of the Yin branch, and every time I could stay with him, I spent most of my time preaching.
The purpose of teaching him the cultivation of the mind over and over again was to tell him that cultivation was a very rigorous thing, and he should not be sloppy at all. Let him recite the Tao Te Ching and the Three Corpses Recipe over and over again in order to refine his mind, so that he can one day stand outside the glitz of this world and look at the world, the people around him, and the things happening around him with the most rational eyes.
Now I only taught him the Tiangang Lock, and in the future, the master may also teach him the technique of the Yin Branch, so that he can one day shoulder the responsibility that everyone who guards the main gate should bear.
The tradition of keeping the right line has been passed down from generation to generation can be summed up in just four words: the heart is immortal. And the responsibility that every disciple in our lineage has to shoulder is also four words: Hongchen preaching.
The heart is not extinguished, and the red dust preaches. This is the inheritance of the line of integrity. It doesn't matter how many spells we have in this vein and where they come from.
But Senior Brother Zhuang obviously didn't understand this, and when he saw that I hadn't responded for a long time, he kept staring at me with a worried face.
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw his appearance: "Actually, Master and I knew many years ago that all kinds of techniques in our vein, especially the Great Arts, were probably passed down from the ancient tombs in the Mass Grave Mountain. Liang Houzai also speculated that the first ancestor should have been to the depths of the tomb. ”
Senior Brother Zhuang let out an "oh" and said, "So that's the case." After that, it was like I was stuck, and I looked out the window and stopped talking.
Until I asked him, "What's going on in the grave?" He shook his head for a moment, then sorted out his language, and said to me: "I can't say a word or two, you still have to go down and see for yourself." ”
I asked Senior Brother Zhuang, "Are there many mechanisms in the tomb?" ”
"Many, very much." Brother Zhuang almost didn't take the time to think about it and answered my question directly.
I asked him again, "What kind of organs are they?" ”
This time, Senior Brother Zhuang pondered for a while before he spoke: "It's like some guillotine, formation, and maze and the like." Those labyrinths are very weird, even Senior Brother Feng, who is proficient in feng shui, can't get out of it. About a week ago, we went down with Li Liang, and we encountered a labyrinth, if Li Liang hadn't carefully studied the soul sealing talisman, we would almost not be able to get out. ”
I raised my eyebrows: "Soul Sealing Talisman?" ”
Senior Brother Zhuang nodded: "Well, the shape of that labyrinth is what it looks like when the sigils of three or four soul sealing talismans are stacked together. ”
That's kind of interesting.
I thought so to myself, leaning my head against the window, looking at the scenery that passed by the car quickly, and Senior Brother Zhuang didn't speak again after that.
Our small county town didn't have much area, and Dawei drove from Wangzhuang to the park along the street, which took about 20 minutes.
When he got out of the car, Senior Brother Zhuang pointed to an iron house near the river and said, "Li Liang is there, I won't follow you." ”
I looked at Senior Brother Zhuang with some doubts: "Senior Brother has other things to deal with?" ”
Senior Brother Zhuang waved his hand at me: "No." Alas, Li Liang doesn't know what he has experienced over the years, not only has he lost his cultivation, but even his personality has changed, and he is ...... now It's so irritable, I don't want to run over and scold him for no reason. ”
I want to be scolded for no reason, who did I provoke me!
But I just thought so in my heart, but there was no nonsense on my lips, and I walked straight to the tin room, and when I came to the door, I heard someone in the room muttering something, I leaned towards the door, trying to hear what the people inside were saying, but he didn't seem to be speaking Chinese, I could only hear a burst of "woo la quack", I don't know what it meant.
Just then, the muttering in the room stopped, and then I heard someone shouting, "Who's outside!" ”
After more than ten years, I have forgotten what Li Liang's voice is like, but I feel that the speaker's voice is a little familiar.
I took a deep breath and opened the door, and saw a thin little old man standing in the room, wearing a camouflage uniform, which had become even thinner because of the wide placket.
I won't admit it wrong, the old man in front of me is Li Liang, I remember when I saw him more than ten years ago, he looked very old, and now he looks more like a dried corpse in the desert, aging and withered, as if his life has already been crumbling, and the last breath in his throat and eyes does not know when he will swallow it.
He stood there, looked at me stunned for a moment, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
I closed the door and found a Mazha to sit in front of him: "Grandpa Li doesn't recognize me, I'm Zuo Youdao." ”
His eyes widened suddenly: "Zuo Youdao? Oh, oh, I remembered you, and I sent you something after 2000......"
As he spoke, there was an inexplicable anger in his eyes, and then he rushed to me, pushed my shoulders and yelled at me: "Go out and go out, who let you in, go out and go out, the children are becoming more and more unruly." ”
As he spoke, he glared at me fiercely, and on the surface, he seemed to be really angry, and there was a bit of anger all over his body, but in his eyes, I saw a bit of weakness.
Now Li Liang, not only is his cultivation degraded, but he doesn't have much strength in his body, he can't push me at all, but he still pushes very hard.
I sighed helplessly and said to Li Liang, "Let's meet again." ”
Hearing my words, Li Liang suddenly stopped the movements in his hand, deliberately looked at me with puzzled eyes, and said, "What are you seeing?" ”
I let out a long breath and said, "Liang Houzai is on Wangzhuang's side, Grandpa Li, Houzai has been waiting for you for so many years, you should meet him." ”
In fact, on the way here, I thought that when I met Li Liang, I should ask him what had happened to him over the years, why he had not been in touch, why he had lost all his ways, and why he had left Houzai back then. I'm going to figure out these questions before deciding whether or not to let him meet with Houzai.
But when I got here, when I saw Li Liang's appearance, I changed my mind, he had to meet with Houzai, and I would see him immediately. I think that if Houzai can't see Li Liang this time, he probably won't have a chance in the future.
When Li Liang pushed me with his hand just now, I could feel that his soul was very unstable, and now he was like a broken candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.
Li Liang stared at me for a while, then found a chair and sat down slowly, he sighed helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "I'm like this, what's the use of seeing him again, he still thinks about me when he sees me like this." ”
I said, "Hakujae is very smart, even if I don't tell him you're coming, he'll guess it later, and when the time comes, he'll just as much know about your condition and miss you." So...... Let's meet again, besides, if it weren't for the sake of seeing Houzai, when Senior Brother Zhuang invited you to come, you would probably have refused. ”
Li Liang shook his head: "I'm not here to see Houzai this time, but to see you." ”
I couldn't help frowning: "See me?" But Grandpa Li, you were going to push me out just now. ”
Li Liang didn't speak, but pointed to my jacket pocket.
I gave him a puzzled look, but he didn't speak, but pointed to my pocket.
When I felt in my pocket, I found a folded note inside, and when I took it out, I saw a line written on it: "Thirty miles to the west." And in the place where the payment is made, there is a place name: Lop Nur Sun Tomb.
What went into my pocket on this note, and what does the text mean?
While I was puzzled, I carefully recalled Li Liang's actions just now, and when he was pushing me, his left hand seemed to briefly touch my chest, and the note should have been stuffed into my pocket at that time.
At this time, Li Liang opened his mouth and said: "Actually, when Xing Wei's kid drove the car to the vicinity of the park, I knew that you were in the car. ”
I asked, "What do the words on this note mean, do you know the Sun Tomb too?" ”
Li Liang smiled helplessly: "Originally, I wanted to write more, but you are in a hurry, I only have time to write these words." Actually, I want to tell you that the entrance to the Sun Tomb is not actually near the Sun Tomb, but to go around the Sun Tomb and walk thirty miles to the west, and if you dig through the sand, you will find a hollow tree stump in the middle, dry but not completely dead, and you can find the entrance to the Sun Tomb from that stump. ”
Speaking of this, Li Liang was silent, and I waited for a long time but couldn't wait for his next step.
So I re-asked the question I had just asked in a different way: "You haven't heard from you for all these years, are you quietly investigating the Sun Tomb, but...... Why investigate that tomb? ”
Li Liang: "I have been away from Houzai for so many years, nominally to avoid love debts, but in fact, I was entrusted by your master to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the Ten Perfection Daoists. In order to make it logical for the Sand Ghosts to appear in the same place as me, your master and I spread the news that I had trivialized the big boss of the Sand Ghosts, and that they were chasing me everywhere. Hehe, this kind of bad idea, that is, Lao Chai can come up with it. ”
I was a little overwhelmed for a while, why did Li Liang disappear back then because he was entrusted by my master. But I remember that at that time, the Ten Perfection Daoists didn't seem to appear in our sight.
No, no, at that time, my master should have concluded that the mastermind behind the Burial Sect was the Shiquan Dao people, don't forget, my master buried Luo Youfang's inner line in the Burial Sect for more than 30 years.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be stunned, in order to deal with the funeral religion, how many arrangements did the master make at the beginning, first Luo Youfang, then Li Liang, and later after my master and uncle met in Erlongwan, the master was also entrusted by the master to enter the funeral religion.
Li Liang seemed to be able to see through what I was thinking, he smiled at me and said, "Your master's hand is very big." A few years ago, the Funeral Cult was afraid of him because he would always attack in places that the enemy could not imagine. Oh, I've heard that after Lao Chai died, the Funeral Sect regarded you as the number one public enemy. But they are afraid of you, or because you can urge Fantianyin and Lun Mind, there is still a gap between you and Lao Chai. ”
