Chapter Eighty-One: The Spirit Talisman
After dealing with the affairs of Shencheng, we set off for Longhu Mountain on the third day after Gu Liancheng left, and on the way to it, I showed the map that Gu Liancheng handed over to me to others, and Wen Zhuo said that with this thing, it would be twice the result with half the effort.
After Yue Qianling came back from Qi Hongtao's warehouse, she followed me inch by inch, maybe it was the decision I asked Qi Hongtao to execute Huo Qian that day, which made Yue Qianling somewhat worried that I would have another magic barrier, and every time she only held my hand, I found that she was relieved when she looked at me.
Xiao Lianshan has become overwhelmed since Gu Liancheng's arrival, for fear that he would do something wrong and make Gu Liancheng have no good impression of him, Gu Anqi has been persuading him to take it easy, in fact, I found that Gu Liancheng is not a question of whether he has a good impression of Xiao Lianshan, but from beginning to end he seems to have no impression of Xiao Lianshan, I secretly told Yue Qianling, this is probably a tricky matter, and in the end, Xiao Lianshan drank Gu Anqi's two things I am afraid that it will be stuck in Gu Liancheng's hands, Yue Qianling said that I am worried about the sky, of course I would rather think too much about myself.
It was two days later to Longhu Mountain, after all, I am also a person who learns the Tao, and only then did I realize why Longhu Mountain is known as the first fairyland of Taoism, Longhu Mountain is the ancestral court of Taoism, formerly known as Yunjin Mountain, it is the Xiushui Lingshan in the south of the Yangtze River, the peaks of this place stretch for dozens of miles, it is said that ninety-nine dragons gather here, the mountain is like a dragon plate, like a tiger, the dragon and tiger compete for the male, and the momentum is not compatible.
Whether it is feng shui or the qi of the fairy road here, Shangqing Creek floats in from the east distance, slowly travels according to the mountain, turns the peak around the mountain, crosses the beach and is white, meets the pool and is green, takes the water to the soft, the stream water that turns around the mountain and the peak, the masculine of the ninety-nine dragons, the green water of the mountain, full of spirituality.
After we rested at the bottom of the mountain for a night, we began to go up the mountain according to the map given to us by Gu Liancheng early the next morning, and waited until we arrived at the mountain gate to look up at the Dragon and Tiger Mountain in this blessed land, shaking off the dust and purple qi rising, which had the meaning of fairyland.
There are two roads at the mountain gate, one is to pick up the steps from the mountain, the Xuanmen competition of 20 years is a Taoist grand ceremony, the believers who come to observe are endless, the Taoist monks on both sides of the mountain gate welcome the guests from all directions, and the people on the mountain are as pious as pilgrimage fairyland.
If you can be like these people, easily go up the mountain steps, it is estimated that it is only a day's journey to the top of the mountain, and you can also enjoy the scenery of this fairyland along the way, but it is not so easy to participate in the competition to take Yugui, and you need to go up from the trail of the back mountain.
When we go around to the back mountain, there are few tourists here, and when we arrive at the gate of the back mountain, there are two Taoist priests wearing pure yang scarves and Taoist robes standing with their hands, and let us go in after asking us clearly to participate in the Xuanmen competition.
I don't know if we came too late, or if there were not many people participating in the competition, we didn't meet anyone after going up the back mountain, and suddenly saw a lot of people walking down from above, all of them hung their heads and looked gloomy, and we couldn't talk to each other with this expression.
Finally met a person who looked kind, Xiao Lianshan smiled and asked why so many people went back, and the answer we got made us a little dazed, the person told us that it won't be long before we will go home, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain didn't intend to let people participate in the Xuanmen competition at all, it was deliberately difficult, and it was impossible for anyone to go up.
The man walked down the mountain with a dejected look, looking at his back a little lonely, as if he had been greatly hit and stimulated.
When I turned around, I saw Wen Zhuo, who was walking in the front, suddenly frozen in place, I walked over and followed his gaze, and laughed almost at the same time as Xiao Lianshan next to me.
Ye Qingyu was not far in front of us, but fortunately she didn't go back, squatting in the stream in front of her to wash her hands, maybe because she was a little surprised to see Wen Zhuo here, but soon this expression was replaced by resentment and contempt, it is estimated that she remembered what happened in the medicine hall that day, and glanced at Wen Zhuo with an extremely cold look.
Wen Zhuo quickly spit out the grass roots at the corners of his mouth, his face was a little red at a loss, Yue Qianling and Gu Anqi had never seen him with such an expression now, and they couldn't help but be a little curious, what kind of things could make the dissolute Wen Zhuo nervous.
When I saw Ye whispering in front of me, maybe it was the sensitivity of the girls, and before Xiao Lianshan and I could say it, I knew from the meaningful smiles on their faces that I had guessed a thing or two.
Wen Zhuo slowly fell from the first to the last, glancing at Ye in front of him from time to time, and then looked at me seriously.
"I don't know if I can keep her thoughtful, but don't worry, how far we can go in the three curves and nine holes, we will definitely let your Ye Qingyu go as far as possible." I said with a wry smile in his ear.
The mountain road has been going up this stream, we slow down and follow behind Ye Qingyu in front, and after walking a long way, this stream gradually becomes wider, and the mountain road is cut off by the stream, and the other end is on the opposite bank of the stream, several rocks that emerge from the water run through the stream, and in the middle of the stream is a huge rock platform, on which a Taoist chief sits cross-legged.
We cautiously crossed the stream to the rock platform in the middle, there was an incense case in front of the Taoist, on which was an incense burner with a few green smoke, the Taoist was dressed in a white robe and had a childish face with the smell of fairy wind and bones, and there were two yellow triangular Dao symbols on the incense case in front of him.
The Taoist chief made a hand, bent his index finger as a salute, and the meaning was that there was a sense of gasification and three clearings, Ye Qingyu arrived before us, and the Taoist chief said to her that he smiled immeasurably.
"The female layman, the poor Dao Void Lingzi and the other two fellow disciples Xujingzi and the Void Son were ordered by the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain to welcome visitors from all directions in Qingchen Creek, and after this stream, the female layman is considered to have entered the mountain."
I secretly thought in my heart that this long Dao number was the Void Lingzi, listening to the meaning of his words, in addition to him, there are two other Dao Chiefs, who should be the Taoist priests of the Xuzi generation of Longhu Mountain, although he said politely, but I know that it is not so easy to cross this Qingchen Creek.
"The Taoist is polite, then I won't disturb the Taoist Qingxiu, I'll go up the mountain first." Ye Qingyu arrived before us, and the words of Xulingzi just now were for her, and Ye Qingyu wanted to go forward after returning the salute.
"Why are you so blind, everyone has talked about this, and I don't understand what it means." Wen Zhuo sighed and muttered with a wry smile in the back.
How much Ye Qingyu hated Wen Zhuo in his heart, in fact, Xiao Lianshan and I could probably think that Wen Zhuo had such a bold and amazing move that day, I am afraid that any normal woman would be eager to crush him to ashes, but I didn't expect Ye Qingyu's hatred for Wen Zhuo to go deep into the bone marrow, and even his voice was extremely resentful, and when Ye Qingyuan turned his head, Wen Zhuo had already subconsciously shrunk behind me.
Her gaze is too cold, not to mention the sword in her hand, I don't know if it is her magic weapon, or Ye Qingyu used it to prove her identity, but how sharp this sword is, Xiao Lianshan and I have seen it, but the most terrible thing, Ye Qingyu hates not only Wen Zhuo alone, the one who is close to the ink is black, in her eyes, Xiao Lianshan and I should be judged to be in the category of being in cahoots with Wen Zhuo, so the way she looks at us is the same as Wen Zhuo.
"Dao Chief, how can I get over?" Ye Qingyu's gaze was retracted from us, perhaps because he heard Wen Zhuo's words just now, and also realized that there was something in the words of the Void Spirit Son.
"Female layman, if you can't enter the mountain, worship the spirit officer first, there are two spirit official road charms in front of the poor road, which can help disasters and demons, take refuge and be auspicious, this road to the mountain has to pass three curves and nine holes, and the road ahead is unpredictable, and there are spirit runes in the body to bless the female monk all the way safe." Void Lingzi said with his finger in front of the Dao Fu.
"Then thank you, Chief." After hearing this, Ye whispered and reached out to take it.
"The Tao is inactive, the Lingshan is free, since the female layman intends to go up the mountain from this road, he must also be a person of the deep passage law, the Tao talks about inaction and forgetfulness, these two ways have a charm, a non-symbol, the female monk should choose one from it, if there is a symbol, the female monk can only pass for the person who has attained the Tao, if there is no symbol, this road is afraid that it is not related to you, and the female monk on the mountain should be clear from the gate of the mountain." The Void Spirit Zi stroked his beard and smiled in the few cigarettes, and stretched out his hand to point to the two talismans in front of him. "Please."
Choose one of the two runes, one is real, one is virtual, this should be the first test to enter the mountain, but I have some doubts, according to Gu Liancheng mentioned to me the three songs and nine holes, there are only five people who can go up in the end, it can be seen how difficult these three songs and nine holes are, and now the first test is actually one of the two, this is too child's play, even if you don't understand the Tao, there is half a chance to choose one at will.
I'm not the only one who has such thoughts, even Yue Qianling and Xiao Lianshan, who don't understand Taoism at all, have the same expression as me, although so, but since I came here, I'm afraid there are few generals, choosing one of the two seems simple, but it is actually the divination in the five Taoist techniques, and it is necessary to deduce which talisman is drawn with the Lingguan talisman from the divination results.
Of course, not all of them are generals, at least Ye Qingyu in front of us should not be one of them, I can also know that she saw her ability to show me in the medicine hall that day, she is not even a beginner in Taoism, and I can come to participate in this Xuanmen competition, I really don't know what else to say except admiring her persistence and courage.
Ye Qingyu is completely a simple purpose, but it is also kind and distracted, although I dare not compliment in Taoism, but people are ice and snow smart, after the void Lingzi finished speaking, I saw Ye Qingyu take out six copper coins from his body, put them in his hand and shake them after calming down, and threw them on the incense case three times in a row, looking at the posture, at least the process of divination is quite familiar, we can't see the hexagram on the incense case when we stand behind her, if Ye Qingyu can interpret the correct spiritual talisman according to the hexagram, it is good, lest Wen Zhuo next to me has been nervously rubbing his fingers below.
"What I occupy is the Tianshan Escape Hexagram, and the clouds cover the sun." Ye Qingyu sat in front of the incense case, looked at the hexagram on the table, and said confidently. "Those who retreat avoid it, they can't retreat, so there is a sign of thick clouds covering the sun, and the so-called thick clouds covering the sun are just at noon, the sun is shining, and suddenly a thick cloud comes, covering its light, and those who occupy this hexagram are not successful."
