Chapter 17: The Past and Present of Rakmu
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it?
After getting Ugin and using it to break through the fourth pass, Ma Yiao and I didn't move anything on the surface, but behind the scenes, we have been looking for the whereabouts of the last medicine lead, wanting to rush through the opening and closing in one go, survive the five tribulations, achieve true awakening, and become a complete "Lingming Stone Monkey".
However, this thing is rare, and for thousands of years, countless of my predecessors have not accomplished such an achievement, and I also stepped on shit to get the fourth, and how difficult it is to hope to continue to be so lucky.
I'm not the real "Monkey King", I'm not the protagonist of yes, where is it so easy?
So this matter has never been done and has been put on hold.
Even Ma Yiao's master Wang Chao'an's side, he went through Empress Tian and the influence of the Heavenly Machine Department to find out about this matter, but there was no trace, what else could I ask for?
However, it was such a coincidence, when I had lost any hope, on such an occasion, this Yongxiang Zen master from Shaolin Temple told us one thing, that is, he knew the whereabouts of Womu.
This is a surprise.
It wasn't me who got excited at first, but Ma Yiao next to him, he stepped forward, bowed, and then said excitedly: "Master, are you serious?" ”
Zen Master Yongxiang waved his hand and said don't get excited, listen to me first-I just know the approximate whereabouts of it, and I can't help you get it directly.
In order to avoid a misunderstanding between us, Zen Master Yongxiang began to talk about the information he knew.
As we all know, Shaolin Temple is a place with a strong commercial atmosphere, this matter, is led by a junior disciple of Yongxiang Zen Master, through various means, the reputation of Shaolin Temple has been carried forward, but even so, as a thousand-year-old temple, Shaolin Temple naturally still has its uniqueness, and the place where they practice is not in the original temple, but in a deep stream in the back mountain Tallinn.
It is precisely because of this unique special advantage that Shaolin Temple has a special status, and while maintaining its strong strength, it also has a very well-informed source.
Many people regard Shaolin Temple as a holy place for martial arts, believing that "the world's martial arts come out of Shaolin".
This sentence must be an exaggeration, after all, although the practice method of Shaolin Temple is good, it can only be regarded as first-class in the entire pattern of rivers and lakes.
There are at least seven or eight cultivation sects and families of its size.
And what about the superb?
Of course, this is a digression, speaking back to the wood, the earliest appearance of this thing is in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in the sea classic, "outside the South China Sea, between the black water and the green water, there is a wood called the wood, if the water comes out."
Some people explained, saying that "Pu" is through "Pu", so this Pu tree is actually "Pu Shu" - the Pu tree mentioned here, of course, is not the famous male singer we are familiar with, but a kind of Pu deciduous tree, this tree can reach up to 20 meters, it is distributed in southern Henan, Ludong, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the provinces and regions south of it, as well as Taiwan, Vietnam, Laos also has, is a fairly common plant.
However, this thing is obviously very different from the "Rakmu" we are looking for.
Although there were no clues, Ma Yiao had spent three days and three nights in the National Library, rummaging through countless classics, and finally determined that Na Luo Mu was actually the Qi Tianmu that was widely known in the cultivation world.
What is Qi Tianmu?
In the great wilderness, there are Hengshi Mountain, Jiuyin Mountain, Dongye Mountain, there are red trees, green leaves and red flowers, the name is Qi Tianmu.
This thing is born very high, it is said to be the product left over from the age of dinosaurs, the ancients believed that it can reach the sky, because the phoenix is a sacred thing, will live here, so it is also called the phoenix wood.
Later, the ancients found that this thing is very magical, not only can be used in medicine, treat low back pain, paint sores, and dredge the meridians, and the core can even stimulate people's blood, qualitative changes, so the disaster appeared, a large number of Qi Tianmu was cut down, so that the later phoenix family had no wood to fall, and finally chose the plane tree.
Some people think that the sycamore tree is Qi Tianmu, which is not right, just like King Adi, no matter how much he looks like Adidas, it is not after all.
Having said so much, Ma Yiao came to the conclusion that Na Bangmu was actually the most essential part of Qi Tianmu.
It's just a tree core.
Because of this, as a long-extinct Monkey tree, how precious its core is, this is self-evident, so Ma Yiao is so excited.
Subsequently, Zen Master Yongxiang told us that the first thing he learned about was in the hands of a Tufuzi named Brother Dog.
What is Tufuzi?
Tomb robbers.
These guys are proficient in the means of identifying the earth and the caves, and they are wreaking havoc on old places, digging indiscriminately, and many relatively large tombs, before they are excavated by archaeologists, they have already passed the same hand, and in terms of professionalism, they are even much stronger than the regular army.
It is said that since his debut, I don't know how many tombs of generals and ministers have been dug up, and thousands of cultural relics have been handled.
After he really got to this situation, the demand for money was actually enough, but the reason why he kept insisting was more out of interest.
This guy likes to walk through the soil, looking for the truth that is covered up by history, and is very fascinated by this feeling, and it is said that this person has a fat mouse that can smell treasures, this thing has a developed sense of smell, but it is much stronger than the Luoyang shovel, which has helped him unearth many secrets, and also made Brother Dog famous in the Tufuzi industry.
But not long ago, this dog brother died suddenly.
According to his accomplices, he fell under the curse of the phoenix and eventually died of spontaneous combustion.
That thing was quite terrible, after the fire was ignited, the whole dog brother curled up in the kitchen water tank, but even in the water, the flame was not extinguished, and it burned brightly, evaporating the large water tank about one meter six high, and the whole tank of water was extinguished.
This process lasted for half an hour, and during this half hour, Brother Dog was screaming heartbreakingly, and his voice was in his ears.
Later, Brother Dog's accomplices began to deal with his relics in a hurry, and successively sold some things, including a vivid wood carved red bird.
Red Bird, in fact, is a phoenix.
That thing is about the size of a fist, at first no one knows the material, but the carving is exquisite, so there is a bid, but not much, it is regarded as a head, and then turned to two buyers, only then someone has a discerning eye, thinking that the material of this thing is likely to be the legendary wood.
It's just that this thing has been in the world since the beginning, with an ominous omen, it has been turned several times, each owner has died mysteriously, and the house often ignites a fire, burning everything down, leaving only this thing, intact.
And Brother Dog's companions also died violently one after another, and their deaths were tragic.
As for why Zen Master Yongxiang knew so clearly, it was because the third owner of this object was one of his lay disciples, and after his disciple got it, he specially found an empty cellar to store it, and then found him and asked how to solve it.
However, where did Zen Master Yongxiang know this, he could only persuade him not to cause trouble, and then his disciple transferred the thing away again, as for who was in his hands, Zen Master Yongxiang was not very clear.
Because his disciple, when he set out for the southwest a few days ago, he also died violently.
After saying this, Zen Master Yongxiang gave us an address, which is the residence of his disciples, and said that if you have time, you can go and have a look, and on my side, I will also go to Xinxiang to investigate the matter, and if I find something, I will notify you.
With that said, we've swapped the means of communication.
Because I wasn't sure whether this matter was true or not, Ma Yiao and I didn't set off immediately, after all, there were a lot of things to deal with here, and we couldn't go to southern Henan for such a news.
But when we're done with the matter at hand, we'll have to look for it.
After all, through the description of Zen Master Yongxiang, I think that the phoenix wood carving is actually very likely to be a wood.
After a brief exchange, we said goodbye and left.
Because of the exposure of our identity and the image of the human skin mask, we simply stopped hiding our faces and left directly.
This place is not far from the Emei Golden Peak, after we got out of the bamboo forest, we did not follow the people to take the main road, but from the side, copy the trail, over the mountains and mountains, do not walk with people.
After walking all the way like this, when it was almost evening, a small village in western Sichuan appeared in front of me.
The smoke curled and the smell of food seemed to waft in the wind, but I felt a pang of hunger in my stomach, and I asked Ma Yiao, he also had some, so I decided to go into the village, find some hot food, fill my stomach and set off again.
However, just as the two were about to walk towards the village, Ma Yiao stopped.
He listened attentively, then turned his head suddenly, and said coldly: "Your Excellency must be tired after following this way, why don't you show up, what do you want from us, let's talk openly and honestly?" ”
What the?
When I heard this, I was shocked, I couldn't imagine that there were still people following me all the way?
I didn't know whether Ma Yiao's words were true or false, I looked left and right, and found that the mountain forest was quiet and there was nothing abnormal, but Ma Yiao repeated a sentence, seeing that no one responded, he picked up a stone on his toes, weighed it in his hand, and then grabbed it and smashed it into a bush on the right.
Fluttering ......
The stone sank into the bushes, but a thin black shadow emerged from it, and ran away for its life in the distance.
Sure enough, there are people!
