Chapter 343: Three Peaks
At three o'clock in the morning, Zuo Dengfeng found that there was a faint light in the distance, in fact, the light was not weak, but it was too far away, ten miles away.
After discovering the light, Zuo Dengfeng immediately stopped, looking forward to observe the situation in the distance, there are three steep and beautiful peaks ten miles ahead, in the shape of a zigzag, there is a grand Taoist temple surrounded by three peaks, the faint light is from the main hall of the Taoist temple, this Taoist temple is obviously different from the Taoist temple outside, the back of the main hall is close to the apse, the master lives in the apse, this architectural style is the style of the Taoist temple before the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the main hall and the apse are separated in the later period, and can not directly enter the apse from the main hall,
There is no wall around the Taoist temple, there are several towering ancient trees at the edge, the trunk is thick, the crown is luxuriant, although it is cold autumn, the branches and leaves are green, this is the vision of the plant being affected by the aura for a long time,
At this time, it was three o'clock in the morning, although the sky was still not bright, but it was already morning class, and the light of oil lamps and fire candles from the main hall showed that the Taoists here were gathering in the main hall to do morning classes at this moment.
This Taoist temple is located 500 miles northwest of Zhouling, and its architectural style and the towering ancient trees around it show that this Taoist temple has a long history, and many clues show that this is the Qingliang Cave Mansion he is looking for.
But Zuo Dengfeng still has a doubt in his heart, that is, Qingliang Cave Mansion should be a cave, there is no cave here, but soon the doubts in his heart were solved, there are three paths in front and behind the Taoist temple leading to the three surrounding peaks, which indicates that there should be caves on these three peaks, but the distance is too far to see real,
Zuo Dengfeng did not rush to act after discovering the target, a good hunter should have an extraordinary patience and be calm.
After roughly observing the situation in Qingliang Cave Mansion, Zuo Dengfeng closed his eyes, he was estimating, when he said that he was a cultivator who was abolished when he was in the purple aura of the two divisions of yin and yang, so he didn't know how far Yu Hengzi, who had the peak cultivation of purple qi, could perceive the existence of the enemy, and what he estimated at the moment was this distance,
If Yu Hengzi is on alert, he can detect the arrival of the enemy ten miles away, but at this time, he is presiding over the morning class, focusing on chanting scriptures, and the perception distance will be greatly shortened.
After getting the answer, Zuo Dengfeng opened his eyes, and then shifted his gaze to the west side of the Taoist temple, there is a field on the west side of the Taoist temple, the north side of the field is planted with straw crops, according to the height of the crop, it should be corn, the crops on the south side of the corn are very low, it should be sweet potatoes and peanuts, the total area of the field will not exceed twenty acres, of which corn accounts for half, at this time, one acre of land out of five quintals of corn is good, a load of one hundred catties, ten acres of land can produce up to five thousand catties, corn is more hungry, six or seven taels a day can make people full, More than two hundred and fifty catties a year, so that according to the grain they planted, it can be deduced that the number of people in Qingliangdong Mansion will not exceed twenty.
Qingliang Cave Mansion is the only remaining Taoist temple to expound the teachings, and there are less than twenty people in the huge Taoist temple, which makes Zuo Dengfeng feel unbelievable, before this he came with the mentality of Duan Laowo, and he was ready to kill, but the number of people was too small to surprise him,
Frowning and thinking for a long time, Zuo Dengfeng finally confirmed his judgment, there will be no more than twenty cultivators in Qingliang Cave Mansion, if there are more people, the planting area of corn will increase, sweet potatoes and peanuts are auxiliary grains and oilseeds, and the area can be completely reduced, according to the crop planting situation in that field, twenty people may have said more,
If there are a lot of people, you have to attack now, if the number is small, there is no need to rush to do it, thinking of this, Zuo Dengfeng did not immediately go to the Taoist temple, but swept to the southeast of the peak, Qingliang Cave is surrounded by three peaks, he wants to find out the situation of these three peaks, to make sure that there are no masters in it, if there is someone to kill first, no matter what time to ensure that the back road is smooth,
After arriving at the top of the mountain, the left peak listened attentively, found that there was no breathing sound on the north side, and then went around from the south side to the north side, the cave entrance of this mountain peak is open to the north, the height and width of the cave are two meters, there are two ancient characters engraved above the cave entrance, which are oracle bone inscriptions, and the left peak carefully looks at the two ancient words to see that these two ancient words are the word "immortal",
The cave is very shallow, but three meters, it is very empty inside, there is no living utensils, only a large number of wooden shrines are placed on the south side, there is an oil lamp in front of the shrine, the fire is like a bean, the light is dim,
The style of the god and the spirit is almost the same, the only difference is that the god is written in red, and the spirit is written in black, the number of these wooden gods is more than thirty, all of them are the predecessors of the Qingliang Cave Mansion, according to the honorific title and the position conferred to see that the "immortal" cave is enshrined in the genus of the earth immortals,
The fuel used in the oil lamp has a fragrant smell, and if you smell it carefully, it is a mixture of peanut oil and soybean oil, which also explains why Qingliang Dongfu grows a large number of peanuts.
After a short stay in the cave, the left peak came to the southwest peak again, there is a hole on the top of the mountain, the book "immortality", still empty, but there are only five gods enshrined in the cave, these gods are larger than those gods before, not only write the road number, but also have the eight-character honorifics,
Here Zuo Dengfeng found his familiar name, Wu Qingzhu, the reason for this person's ascension is not like the other four gods have only one column, but one more column, the first column is written Gu Seal, "The merit is complete, and the physical body is ascending." The second column was obviously added later, and it was written in regular letters. ”
The ancient seal is the font before the Qin Dynasty, the traditional regular script appeared in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui Dynasty, through the handwriting, Wu Qingzhu at least before the Qin Dynasty on the flesh soared, but later in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui Dynasty period and down to earth, the clue is mainly in the second column of text, the most difficult to understand is also this second sentence, "pick up the missing and fill the gaps" The literal meaning of this sentence is that there are few people in the heavenly court, she made up for it, but this sentence is a bit demeaning to Wu Qingzhu, it is impossible for Qingliang Cave Mansion to be so rude to Wu Qingzhu,
There is another understanding of the four words "picking up the missing and filling the gaps", that is, Wu Qingzhu still has things to do in the mortal world that have not been done, and he comes down to pick up the tail, this understanding is still relatively accurate, but it doesn't make sense, because it is impossible to fly in vain before the mundane things are over, like Tang Xuanzang in the Journey to the West is not full of eighty-one difficulties, and after becoming a Buddha, the Bodhisattva kicked him into the river from the sky is extremely absurd, becoming an immortal and becoming a Buddha is a very solemn thing, how can the heavenly court be mistaken, therefore, Wu Qingzhu is definitely not dealing with the tail left before,
The two possibilities are all ruled out, and only the last possibility remains, that is, "picking up the missing and filling the gaps" is a tactful statement, the fact is that Wu Qingzhu made a mistake in the heavenly court, was demoted to make up for his mistakes, and was able to return to his position after making up for his mistakes.
Thinking of this, Zuo Dengfeng finally realized that Wu Qingzhu was demoted, but she did not find a chance to make up for her mistakes after she went down to earth, the reason why she suddenly left Wu Xinyu was because she was taken back to the Northern and Southern Dynasties to make up for her mistakes, this person who took her away must be one of the three Qings, because only the Sanqing patriarch can break the prison of time and take people back and forth to the past and present, in this case, she didn't have time to say goodbye to Wu Xinyu to understand,
Zuo Dengfeng had long known that the immortals really existed, and he was not surprised by this matter, but he still had a trace of doubt in his heart, that is, the second half of the second sentence "Imperial Decree Returns", these four words are secretly strange, it stands to reason that the immortals should be ordered by the Jade Emperor to be promoted, if it is the Jade Emperor's decree, it should be used with words like "edict, decree", "edict" is not a word used by the Jade Emperor, but all real people who have achieved cultivation can use it, that is to say, it is not the Jade Emperor who reinstated Wu Qingzhuguan, but another high-powered immortal, Who is this person, and why does he have so much power that he can act on behalf of heaven?
In the second cave left to climb the peak for a stick of incense time, and then leave for the north of the peak, this peak of the cave has no ancient characters, but carved a compass-sized yin and yang Taiji charm, the cave is dedicated to the ancestor of the ancestor Yuan Shi Tianzun,
It is already four o'clock in the morning after reading the three caves one by one, the left peak goes around the south side, looks at the main hall of the Qingliang Cave Mansion from a distance of five miles, the main entrance of the main hall is open, you can see that there are Taoist people sitting and chanting in it, because the angle is not good, the number of Taoist people in the main hall can not be determined,
When you get here, you can already faintly hear the sound of chanting, judging by the sound of chanting, the number of people is not much, and the sound of chanting is also very gentle, which indicates that the people inside are not aware of the abnormality, in addition, there is no back door in the hall, if you break in directly, you can block all the people in the hall inside,
After roughly figuring out the situation, Zuo Dengfeng began to hesitate, Qingliang Cave Mansion is the sect to which Wu Qingzhu belongs, and Wu Qingzhu is the master of Wu Xinyu, if the Qingliang Cave Mansion is razed, there is no way to explain to Wu Qingzhu, but if you don't do it, you can't explain it to Yufu, and you can't explain it to yourself.
To kill or not to kill,
The premise of happiness and enmity is that there are no worries, once you have concerns, you can't act recklessly, after groaning, Zuo Dengfeng finally decided that Yuhengzi must die, and the other people in Qingliang Cave Mansion can watch his actions and power his life,
Feng Xingjue can reach a distance of eight miles in a sweep, and the current distance can be swept away, but the speed of a surname sweeping out of the late stage of eight miles will slow down, and after weighing it, Zuo Dengfeng decided to land halfway to borrow strength, and rushed directly into the main hall after accelerating,
With this in mind, he began to look for a suitable place to stay, and finally chose a bluestone two miles away from the main hall.
After weighing everything, Zuo Dengfeng took a deep breath and suddenly burst out, rushed forward, landed three miles away and borrowed strength, and after accelerating, he rushed into the main hall of Qingliang Cave Mansion with lightning speed.
He had expected it before, there were only a dozen Taoists in the main hall, all of them were old, Yu Hengzi sat in front of the futon to preside over the morning class, and at this time he had already noticed his arrival and opened his eyes,
Because Zuo Dengfeng had planned well before, Yu Hengzi was shocked by his appearance, and he missed the opportunity, he had no time to recite the mantra, seeing Zuo Dengfeng swinging a knife and slashing, he could only pour his right arm into Zuo Dengfeng's left chest, this is helpless to save Zhao, if Zuo Dengfeng does not wave a knife to save himself, he will inevitably be shocked by it,
At the moment of life and death, the ruthlessness in Zuo Dengfeng's bones reappeared, his left shoulder drooped three inches to avoid the vital point of the heart, and the castration of the tiger wing in his right hand remained unchanged, and he took the head directly.
Yu Hengzi is the pinnacle master of three points of yin and yang, if the enemy is head-on, it will be a vicious battle, the opportunity must not be lost, this time is a good opportunity, even if he is injured, he will be hacked to death,
