Chapter Seventy-Four: Hellfire and Thunder

Wen Zhuo's hexagram results are the same as mine, I am more sure that Wu Zetian should now be in the Ganye Temple where she became a monk, which was originally a royal temple in the forbidden garden of the Tang Dynasty, when Tang Gaozong, Wu Zetian was here for several years, so it is famous.

In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong Li Shimin died and ordered Wu Cai to become a monk in Ganye Temple, no one will understand why Taizong issued this edict, but perhaps it is because Wu Zetian escaped the constant strife in Ganye Temple, and this dormant period was exchanged for her for the eternal empress praised by future generations.

We arrived at Ganye Temple after three days, and the only thing I didn't know before going to Longhu Mountain was Qiu Nuo, who had not been seen through by me, and I must know everything about her, a woman who could make people like Wei Yong unaware of every step of the way, and coupled with her unbelievable Taoism in Zhongshan, her existence seemed to be more dangerous to us than Wei Yong.

Ganye Temple was originally a royal temple, according to the record covers an area of more than 300 acres, only the mountain gate is more than 1,500 meters away from the south of the temple, so there is a horse riding to close the mountain gate, but when we arrive at the Ganye Temple, here is very different from what we imagined, because of disrepair, now only a dilapidated hall and some scattered stone railings and a water well are left.

If it weren't for the fact that we saw the stone tablet standing outside the main hall, the six small characters of the incense burning courtyard after the Tang Dynasty, and the six characters of the Tang Ganye Zen Temple, it is difficult to imagine the glory of the incense here.

The inside of the hall is not big and you can see it thoroughly at a glance, don't say that Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er, there is a thick layer of ash on the incense case, the dust in the hall is accumulated, the cobwebs are vertical and horizontal, the statue is incomplete, the murals are also mottled and blurred due to the invasion of wind and snow, people have been here for a long time, when we came out of the hall, it just rained outside, and the drizzle set off this place even more.

Although it looks like a dilapidated place, all kinds of wild flowers bloom in the wild grass around the main hall, which is gorgeous and enchanting in the rain, injecting a touch of brightness into the gray tones here, and slightly making this decadent hall a little lively.

"Looks like they're here for nothing, they're not here." Xiao Lianshan sat on the threshold and said disappointedly.

According to the hexagram, Wu Zetian should be here, even if I can solve the wrong hexagram, and Wen Zhuo's solution is the same as me, I don't believe that with the ability of the two of us, we will make a mistake, but look at the surroundings is indeed as Xiao Lianshan said, maybe we really miscalculated.

I was going to wait for the rain to stop before leaving, but the drizzle had no intention of stopping, Wen Zhuo and I sat silently on the side, I guess he should be the same as me, he is also re-interpreting the hexagram, to see what is being ignored.

Xiao Lianshan has nothing to do, leaning on the pillar outside the main hall and throwing stones at the well not far away, although the Ganye Temple is in disrepair and dilapidated, but the ancient well is not deserted, the well water inside is crystal clear, Xiao Lianshan is still completely bored at the beginning of a method used to pass the time and wait for the rain to stop, but I slowly found that Xiao Lianshan threw more and more energy, and finally the whole person walked outside the hall, standing by the ancient well, and the rain fell on him without knowing it.

I saw him repeating the same action mechanically, picking up stones from the ground and throwing them into the ancient well, and then opened his mouth slightly wider, and after several times in a row, Xiao Lianshan stood by the well in amazement and shouted loudly.

"Come and see, and this strange thing."

Wen Zhuo and I walked over, Xiao Lianshan picked up a bigger stone and threw it into the well in front of us, and then pointed to the water surface and said in surprise.

"Isn't that unusual?"

Wen Zhuo and I didn't speak, in fact, we didn't know what to say for a while, the water in the ancient well was crystal clear, and after being tried by Xiao Lianshan like this, I also picked up a stone from the ground and threw it down.

The stone sank into the well, and we could hear the popping sound and see the splash, but ......

We didn't see the ripples after the stone broke through the water, Wen Zhuo seemed to think of something, opened his left hand, and quickly danced and painted on it with his hand, I saw that what he painted was the summoning five thunder mantras, Wen Zhuo drew a good talisman in the palm of his hand, and when he held it with one palm and raised it again, it had become a finger, and he said a few words silently, and suddenly showed the five thunder handprints in his hand.

"Five thunderbolts break the void."

Wen Zhuo's curse thundered, and five thunder rays fell through the sky, sturdyly falling to the ground around us, Wen Zhuo frowned in surprise.

"There are no ripples in the well water, what we see should be an illusion, I thought that this place was sealed by the enchantment here, but the fact that the sky-breaking thunder can be split down means that there is no enchantment and Dao barrier here, then it's strange, why do we see an illusion?"

"There are even stranger ......," Xiao Lianshan pulled the corners of Wen Zhuo's clothes with me. Look over there. ”

Wen Zhuo and I looked over like Xiao Lianshan pointed out, and the sky-breaking thunder that Wen Zhuo had just recruited was struck on the ground, and the withered grass and wildflowers that grew on it were instantly scorched, but soon the wildflowers I noticed before were slowly re-blooming in the pitch-black scorched earth, if it weren't for the dead grass that was still burning around, I couldn't believe that these wildflowers had just been struck by lightning.

I hurriedly walked over, picked a wild flower from the scorched earth and took it in my hand to see, the flower three and four petals were like flower balls clustered together, but there were two colors, half red and half yellow, I held it in my hand for a long time and slowly withered and decayed, and finally turned into a pinch of fine ash in my hand and scattered clean, and then looked down to find that the place I had just picked had grown new flowers.

"Yin and Yangzi?!" I was taken aback and looked up and said to Wen Zhuo and Xiao Lianshan. "I have seen this kind of flower in the ancient book of Qin's hand, called Yin and Yang, peanut Yin and Yang, the red on the left represents the Netherworld Blood Sea, and the yellow on the right represents the Nine Heavens Golden Sky, this flower was used by Fang Shi to make mist in the former Qin period, it is said that it has the purpose of hiding the sky and crossing the sea to confuse people's hearts, but it will be extinct after Qin, this is not a Taoist enchantment, here is an obstacle!"

"Since someone has set up a barrier here, it means that they want to hide something...... We're not mistaken, there must be a hole behind this obstacle. Wen Zhuo smiled and said.

"The person who wants to hide Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er is nothing more than Qiu Nuo, but since she doesn't want others to find them, she can completely set up an enchantment here with her Dao cultivation." I hesitated for a moment, and then I was puzzled and muttered to myself. "It's unknown whether she can break her barrier with her Dao Method, but why she only sets up obstacles, it is far easier to break the barrier than to break her Dao Law Barrier."

"Brother, can this obstacle be broken?"

I nodded, a little unfigured, but at least it showed that we were in the right place.

"Wen Zhuo, Yin and Yang flowers bloom Yin and Yang, endlessly, to break Yin and Yang must be broken at the same time, I call the fire to break the Yin, you call the sky to thunder and break the Yang, Qiu Nuo set up the obstacle It is estimated that I didn't expect you to be able to ** Nine Heavens and Thirty-six Days of Thunder, you and I can work together to break this obstacle."

Wen Zhuo nodded calmly after listening, and stood with my back, I started the Fa at the same time as him, I pinched the fire and held the talisman, closed my eyes and recited the mantra.

Heaven and earth are yellow, the light of the sun and the moon, the five elements of fortune, and the four directions of fire. The fire is red in the world, the fire god is the god, the great sage orders to be carried out, what ghost dares to rush, the plague and the plague ghost, and hurriedly walks away.

After the spell was burned, I waved the talisman in the sky with one hand, and the fierce true flames rose from the ground when the talisman was burning, and a sea of fire instantly swallowed everything around us, and the yin and yang that were swaying in the rain were half of the red black embers in the dark fire.

At the same time, Wen Zhuo opened his left hand again, redrew the Dao talisman in the palm of his hand, raised it with one palm and shouted to the sky.

The sky is thundering, the mines are roaring, the yin thunder is fast, and the yang thunder is roaring. Lei Wei was alarmed, and the dragon and tiger were crossed. The sun and the moon are listed, shining clearly, twelve gongcao, six jia and six ding, and they are executed. Haste as a law.

A heavenly thunder came with the spell, split in Wen Zhuo's palm, and the momentum of the thunder was all collected by Wen Zhuo in his palm, and my dark fire spell was issued at the same time, and a single palm suddenly covered the ground, with Wen Zhuo as the center, a dazzling white light quickly spread, and the burning dark fire was intertwined, and the other half of the yellow petals of Yin Yang Zi turned into ashes in an instant.

With these dissipated obstacles, a regular layout, the ancient temple with colorful sycamores everywhere appeared in front of us.

As I climbed the steps of the mountain gate, I looked up and saw three powerful and far-reaching characters on the majestic plaque.

Ganye Temple.

Walking inside, the courtyard flowers are full of spring, the Buddha incense is silent and solemn, it is too quiet here as if it is empty, until you walk to the garden in front of the main hall.

I saw a woman in a green dress standing and admiring the flowers, her skin was like snow, her face was like a hibiscus, her eyebrows were like willows, her face was gorgeous, her eyes were charming, but she was awe-inspiring, her black hair was pulled up and her face was beautiful and graceful, revealing majesty and nobility, the woman did not look back, and her red lips were lightly upturned.

"Yan Hui, you're finally here."

Li ...... Aunt Li, are you really here......" I am more used to calling Aunt Li than Wu Zetian, but I quickly reacted. "You...... Are you waiting for me? ”

Wu Zetian turned his head and stared at me for a few seconds, then smiled lightly, and before she could speak, I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"Tang Zhaorong Shangguan Wan'er welcomes King Qin to Ganye Temple."

I turned around and saw Qingyang Wanfu bending his knees to salute me, and I hurriedly asked her to get up, next to Wu Zetian's calm voice.

"Let her go, Wan'er is known as weighing the world, except for me, the one left is Wen Taowu's slightly swept ** Emperor Qin Wang Yingzheng, she can see you again without worship."

"Aunt Qing, I'm Yanhui, not Yingzheng, I'm afraid you can't afford to be polite like Yanhui."

"Just because you're not now doesn't mean you won't be ...... future," Wu Zetian said extremely calmly behind me.

I was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized something, helped Qingyang and slowly turned his head, his expression was a little puzzled.

"The last time I saw you was before I went to the Ming Tombs, at that time even I didn't know who I was, and you wouldn't know, I haven't seen you since then, why...... Why do you know about Yingzheng? ”
