Chapter 501: The Legend of Jiuzhi Mountain

After Chen Ziyang and the three of them got off the plane, Liu Cong was already waiting there, picked up the three of them and drove straight to the destination.

"Did you bring anything?" Liu Cong asked Chen Ziyang.

"Brought it." Chen Ziyang knew that what Liu Cong was talking about was referring to the bronze compass made by Zhang Taixu. When he contacted Liu Cong before, Liu Cong specially told Chen Ziyang to bring the compass with him, because he was afraid that he would use it when looking for Taoist holy places.

In fact, even if Liu Cong doesn't say it, Chen Ziyang will bring the compass, the test is set by Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian, and the brass compass is so beautifully made, maybe the two of them will leave some organs that can only be cracked with this compass, so it is very necessary to bring the compass.

On the road, Chen Ziyang and Liu Cong discussed the matter of the Taoist holy land.

"Liu Cong, I know that Jiuzhi Mountain is where the tomb of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, is located, but what does this have to do with the Taoist holy land? The Tang Dynasty attached great importance to Taoism, could it be that this Taoist holy place was built by the Tang Dynasty? I'm a halfway monk, and I've never heard of any Taoist holy places, do you have any information? ”

"We don't know much about this, and in the past Taoist literature, there is no mention of a Taoist holy place here. The elevation of Jiuzhi Mountain is more than 1,000 meters, from the east it looks like a beacon, it is also called Beacon Mountain, from the southwest it looks like a bucket, in the eyes of the feng shui master, this mountain feng shui is wonderful.

Sitting in Weibei, the air covers the pass, by the nine mountain beams arch into the peak, a peak is unique, so it is called Jiuzhi Mountain, this nine mountain beams are also called the nine dragon spine. Jiuzhi Mountain is backed by the mountains, relying on Jing Shui, there are mountains in front of the sanitation, the plains, mountains and water are set against each other, it is indeed a rare feng shui treasure land.

Except that it is the location of Zhaoling, there is nothing too famous about Jiuzhi Mountain, and we also searched in many ways, but found nothing. However, we estimate that all this should have something to do with the legend of a Jiuzhi Mountain. ”

"The legend of Jiuzhi Mountain? Could it be that this legend has something to do with Taoism? ”

"Yes, Jiuzhi Mountain covers a wide area, and there are a lot of feng shui treasure caves there, in addition to Zhaoling, there are also some dragon caves with very good feng shui in other places.

Empress Wu Zetian once asked Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's master and apprentice to go to her and choose the dragon's lair in the cemetery. Li Chunfeng set off first, ran for nine hundred and eighty-one days, and found a dragon's cave in Jiuzhi Mountain, and he buried a copper coin at the hole to mark the location.

Later, Wu Zetian asked Yuan Tiangang to go out to look for it. Yuan Tiangang spent seventy-seven forty-nine days, and also found an auspicious place in Jiuzhi Mountain, so he pulled out a silver hairpin from his head and inserted it.

Wu Zetian asked people to verify whether the dragon den chosen by the two was consistent, and when they dug it up, Yuan Tiangang's silver hairpin was inserted in the square hole of the copper coin buried by Li Chunfeng. The position of the dragon's cave eye chosen by the two is exactly the same, and the difference is exactly the same.

This legend is supposed to be real, and it has been recorded in many Taoist texts and other books. But there is one thing that is not quite right, Wu Zetian was later buried in Qianling, which is not the dragon's lair treasure of Jiuzhi Mountain chosen by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng at all.

Since Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng chose the same dragon lair at that time, it means that this dragon lair should be more than enough as Wu Zetian's mausoleum. However, such a feng shui treasure has not been built into a mausoleum, so there must be some secret in it.

Previously, we had speculated whether it was possible that the Taoist Holy Land was located in this dragon's lair. But judging by Zhang Taixu's last words, it seems that things are not so simple.

Zhang Taixu said that it is necessary to start from Jiuzhi Mountain to stargazing, and go through seven tests to find the Taoist holy land, so that means that the location of the Taoist holy land should not be in Jiuzhi Mountain, but there must be a connection. Maybe Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng at that time found some other dragon vein when they were looking for the dragon's lair in Jiuzhi Mountain.

After all, Jiuzhi Mountain is the location of Zhaoling, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, and it also belongs to the imperial mausoleum area of the Tang Dynasty, and it is almost impossible to build a large-scale Taoist holy place there, which is equivalent to digging the tomb of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. ”

When Liu Cong said this, Chen Ziyang already understood a little, he touched his chin with his hand, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Are you saying that it is very likely that this Taoist holy land was not built by Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian, but what they found, what relics were left behind after Yuan Tiangang built it?" ”

"Senior brother is senior brother, really smart, I just told this legend, you have already guessed a rough idea. Yes, that's exactly what we're speculating.

Since it can be called a Taoist holy place, the scale of this place must be not small. Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian simply did not have the ability to build a holy place.

Yuan Tiangang is originally from my Taoist family, plus he is deeply favored by Wu Zetian, he should have a lot of real power in his hands, and it is not impossible to build a holy land, but it is unknown what this holy place is used for.

We estimate that Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian discovered the Taoist holy land left by Yuan Tiangang by chance, so the two of them later hid the iron book about the treasure of the dragon vein of the Great Qing Dynasty there, and the seven tests may have been left by the people who built the Taoist holy land in the first place, but they were borrowed or transformed by Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian. ”

"If that's the case, it's a bit bad. This Taoist shrine may be a lot more difficult to deal with than I thought. Chen Ziyang said with some concern.

"yes, that's why I organized this training camp. Since you don't know what to face, it's better to prepare as much as you can, it's better than waiting. Liu Cong nodded and said.

Originally, Chen Ziyang thought that the test of the Taoist holy land this time should not be very dangerous, after all, Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian just wanted to test the skills of the Taoist disciples later and see if the Taoism had declined. As long as they pass their test, they can get clues to the dragon veins of the Great Qing Dynasty, so that they can use the treasures inside to develop Taoism. But after Liu Cong said this, the situation is a little different.

If this Taoist holy place was really built by Yuan Tiangang, then the danger inside is likely to be much greater. What kind of person is Yuan Tiangang, he is a leader in Taoism, and the traditional formations and organs cannot enter his eyes at all.

Although Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian's skills and identities are not as good as Yuan Tiangang, after all, these two people are also alchemy for Yongzheng, and their skills are not much smaller.

The Taoist holy land left by Yuan Tiangang, coupled with the transformation of Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian, it seems that these seven tests are not so easy.

"Senior brother, you don't have to worry too much, I once thought that since Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian can crack the mechanism in the Taoist Holy Land, we should also be able to do it. This time, your fifth grandfather has made a lot of money, the elite has done his best, and all the manpower and material resources have made way for this operation, and the combined strength of all of us should be much greater than that of Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian. ”

After a few hours of driving, the four of them arrived at the training site. After getting out of the car, Chen Ziyang looked around, and he found that this was similar to the training site organized by Liu Cheng when he rescued him last time, and it was also an outdoor field game venue for live CS, but this time there was no dragon's lair here at all.

In order to prevent the leakage of information as much as possible, this time the training site is still far away from Jiuzhi Mountain. However, according to Liu Cong, when the weather is good, if you stand on a high place, you can see the outline of Jiuzhi Mountain looming on the horizon in the distance, which is not too far away.

After Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai got out of the car, they couldn't wait to ask Liu Cong for two guns and some bullets, and ran to the shooting range in the distance to enjoy themselves. After seeing the only two dozen people in the venue, Chen Ziyang was stunned.

"Liu Cong, are we here early or are these the people you are training for? Didn't you say that the elite is exhausted? Is it just these two dozen people? Is that all you have to do? Looking at the scene that was very different from what he imagined, Chen Ziyang asked a little depressed.

"There are many soldiers, these people are carefully selected by me, they are all extraordinary, and they are absolutely reliable. This time, the team that really wants to enter the Holy Land is these twenty or so people, plus the Seventh Division of Maoshan Mountain.

A small team has the advantage of a small team, and some things are not something that can be done well with a large number of people, and the large army will stay on the periphery to respond, but to be honest, if there is really something, those people may not be reliable.

Originally, Jin Huang and Fang Zheng were also coming, but they had other things to do, and there was no way to participate in this training camp, and there were three other old guys, in terms of seniority, they and your fifth grandfather were all brothers, and they were all at the level of my master.

They're all young, they're usually pampered, and it's impossible for you to expect them to improve something through this period of intensive training, and it's good if they don't make a mess for you.

But you can rest assured that the skills of these people are all trustworthy, and their achievements in Dao art are several levels higher than that of me and you, and if you want to solve the seven tests, you mainly rely on them.

You don't have to be too anxious, I'll introduce you to each other when the team gathers and leaves, but these old fellows are all arrogant and pretentious, and often look at people with the soles of their feet, and if there is anything that really offends you, don't take it to heart. ”

Hearing Liu Cong say this, Chen Ziyang's heart was also relieved, the people who can make Liu Cong sure have high skills, their level will definitely not be bad, which makes Chen Ziyang feel a lot more relieved.

Early the next morning, Chen Ziyang got up early, found a relatively high place, and looked at the Jiuzhi Mountain in the distance. However, because it was far away, I could only vaguely see a high mountain rising from the ground in a plain.

Looking at the towering Jiuzhi Mountain in the distance, Chen Ziyang took a deep breath. Unexpectedly, a poor boy born in a ravine would have the opportunity to contact the Taoist holy land, and even if he did not live in vain in this life, a sense of accomplishment arose spontaneously in his heart. And the paramilitary training organized by Liu Cong officially began on this day.

The content of the training camp is not too much. Every morning when the weather is not hot, all people do physical training at the same time, in addition to regular running and equipment training, sometimes there will be some group simulation confrontation in the live CS venue, in order to increase everyone's actual combat experience.

After lunch, the program was moved indoors. In addition to being familiar with the use and operation of firearms, communication equipment and some professional instruments, all people also need to learn sign language and light language to facilitate the handling of various unexpected situations.

After dinner, it was free time, and Chen Ziyang used this time to improve his mana, and often discussed some Maoshan Taoism with Liu Cong, read some Taoist classics, and the two of them learned from each other, and their lives were relatively fulfilling.

All the training team members live in a small building in this field, this small building is actually a hotel, whether it is food or accommodation, the conditions are very good, everything is needed, and everyone's life is also impressive.

Chen Ziyang and Umbrella Shishuai were enjoying themselves, but Yang Lei was depressed, after all, he came here to install forks, and he didn't expect that this training camp would be so serious, the requirements would be so strict, and the amount of exercise would be so large.

Umbrella Shishuai is a person who has been a soldier, and he has not put down his physical exercise, and Chen Ziyang has also insisted on fitness for the past two years, and neither of them feels that training here is hard, only Yang Lei rubs his sore muscles every day and complains bitterly.

Because he didn't know the exact time of departure, Liu Cong asked everyone to take tomorrow as the date of departure, and study hard every day, so that what should be mastered will be learned one day earlier, and there will be more time left for familiarization, and when it comes to the real departure, they will be more prepared.

Waiting is the most painful. Chen Ziyang asked Liu Cong several times about the date of departure, but Liu Cong was not sure, after all, he only knew that the stars had changed, and the date of the convergence of the seven stars had been advanced, but the specific day still depended on the operation of the stars.

The stargazing has been left to someone else, and the position of the stars is observed every day, so as soon as there is news, this side will be notified immediately, but it is really difficult to determine the departure time. So everyone is in this tangled mood and is training day after day.

Soon, more than a month passed. In this more than a month, everyone has learned almost what they should master, so Liu Cong's requirements are not as strict as at the beginning, and several people can also drink a little wine at dinner to relieve the fatigue of the day.

However, in order to prevent the leakage of information, to prevent the detection of the Dragon Digging Society's spies, and for everyone's safety, all people are still strictly controlled, and they are not allowed to leave this camp for a single step.
