Chapter Forty-Six: The Devil's Well in Longhu Mountain Town
On the way down from the black stone, the ghost daughter-in-law talked about it, and asked me to see my grandfather and ask if I knew where the sacred tree came from. But I was afraid that she would leave, so when I met my grandfather, I chose to forget even if I had a chance to speak.
My behavior is very naïve, but I can't think of any other way, memory is the most important thing for a person, not to mention that there are a lot of secrets hidden, in my opinion, the ghost daughter-in-law is also alive and well with me like this, but she may not think so.
Now it's okay, grandpa sent all the maps directly, and the Yinyang Gate is at a critical juncture. Seeing that I was stunned for a long time without speaking, and I didn't look at the picture. The ghost daughter-in-law smiled and placed the palm-sized map on the coffee table.
I was in a mess, I didn't have the heart to look at it, I saw that the map was compressed, the words were very small, and I hurriedly grabbed it and said: "It's too small to see clearly, I see a digital store on the commercial street, you can enlarge the photo." ”
Before I could finish speaking, I had already run out of the door with the map, but instead of zooming in on the map, I hid under the stairs. I really want to destroy the map, and when the Yin-Yang Gate develops, I will ask my grandfather for one and accompany her.
But the ghost daughter-in-law is very smart, I don't know how long she has watched it, I'm afraid it's all in my mind. This is not a random guess, I have seen it once outside the Yin Village, and she only saw the map given by Zhou Tong twice at that time, and then took me over countless peaks and canyons.
I'm just a kid in my early fifteens, and a lot of my impulsive ideas are naïve. What's more, I am afraid that I will not be able to think, and if I lose thinking, anyone is naïve. After a moment of hesitation, I finally made up my mind to tear up the map and not let the ghost daughter-in-law go on an adventure alone.
Affection is a very wonderful thing, a month ago, I was still on guard against her, I didn't have any feelings, but now when I encounter something, I suddenly find that she has become something that cannot be parted, which makes people worry, and if you don't see it, you will not be able to give up.
Habits, it turns out that it's so simple. And after getting used to it, you can no longer be separated, and it becomes a relationship.
I tore it hard, and found that the map was a sheepskin, and I was about to mobilize the yin qi to freeze it, and then knock it into pieces, when the voice of the ghost daughter-in-law suddenly came from behind me: "What are you hiding here?" ”
Now I'm crouching in the corner under the stairs, like a wounded kitten, and she doesn't know when she came over, and she probably saw me tearing up the map.
I looked at her in a daze, speechless. She smiled and said, "You're so anxious, I'll leave before I finish speaking." Now is not the time to find the source of the Divine Tree, not to mention that there are several points marked on the map, which seem to be very important, and there is no connection from the above, so it is estimated that you will have to see it on the spot. ”
In all the words, I only heard the words "It's not the time to find the source of the Divine Tree", and the whole person suddenly became excited, and the previous haze was swept away. The ghost daughter-in-law saw that I was still squatting on the ground just now, and suddenly became happy again, with a faint smile on her face, she reached out to support my head and said, "Be careful to come out, don't bump into it." ”
I came out from under the stairs, and the ghost daughter-in-law said, "Shang Lin has been walking all over the country all year round, and he is very familiar with the field. ”
Shang Lin was praised by Zhou Tong as a living map of contemporary China, with footprints all over the country, which is an exaggeration, after all, 5% of China's territory can only be seen on satellites, but humans have never set foot in it. About one percent of the satellites are blind spots, but Shang Lin has indeed walked a lot.
The villa area lives in either rich or expensive, walking on the street is either handsome or beautiful, dressed very fashionably, the ghost daughter-in-law is a little out of place in ancient costumes, but under the matching of her face, no one dares to say that it is inappropriate. She accompanied me out of the curfew, and on the way, not only men, but also women stopped to watch.
I felt uncomfortable walking next to her, and hurriedly pulled her into the digital store, and after the map was enlarged, the owner didn't accept the money and asked to take a photo with the ghost daughter-in-law. I refused, paid the bill and hurried home.
The ghost daughter-in-law's face was flushed, and she didn't know if she was in a hurry or shy because her appearance was appreciated. However, I took a very serious "lesson" to her: "In the future, without me by your side, you must not go out and run around, lest you meet perverts." "Although I don't know any pervert who dares to harass her, I still say it righteously.
She was also very cooperative, nodding slightly, but when I turned around, her eyes were crooked into crescents with a smile. We saw Zhou Tong and Shang Lin by the pool, as well as two people we didn't know, and we thought that they had won over people so quickly, and we were more excited, and we knew that they were messengers from the Daomen.
I frowned slightly, and it hadn't been two days since the front foot left, and they followed with the back foot, what kind of trick was playing?
When the two of them saw me, they stretched out their hands to shake hands, and I was ready to hold my fists, but I could only put it down when I saw this, and after shaking hands, the young man on the left took out a letter from the inner pocket of his suit and said: "Master Li, something has happened in Jiangxi recently, and all sects and factions have to go to deal with it, and the specific matters are clearly written in the letter." The letter has been delivered, and we are waiting to take our leave. ”
Seeing off the two, Zhou Tongcai said: "Ancient rites are only used in the station or in the place where no one is there, and only shake hands in the city!" I nodded, taking it to heart. There were only a few short sentences on the letter, and my brow furrowed after reading it.
It didn't introduce what happened in Jiangxi, but only let us send five people to Longhu Mountain to meet. The sect has just been established, and it is still a shell, and now let us send out five people, which is equivalent to pouring out of the nest. But the Dao Sect informed us that it was obviously the result of the Yin Yang Sect being counted among the decent, or the result of the Dao Zun's appearance, otherwise they would only admit it verbally and then completely ignore it.
Zhou Tong was also silent after reading it, Qin Chuan and Xia Ji had a few old friends, and they left this morning, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to come back. Master Chengluo even had more than 30 people waiting for him.
Right now, counting Li Erniu, we can just get together five people, and as soon as we leave, the entire sect will be empty. But if you don't go, it's tantamount to telling the truth.
The ghost daughter-in-law said: "If it is a sect action, the five ghosts in the Yin and Yang Sword can be counted, plus you and I have two more, Zhou Tong and Shang Lin can stay and take care of the sect." ”
I'm just the commander of the light pole, and no one looks at the shelf, and everyone has to discuss it together when something happens, and the four of them have decided on a plan for the ghost daughter-in-law. After dinner, I asked Shang Lin to look at the map, he looked back and forth twice, pointed to the starting point on the map with his hand and said, "Strange, this is also Longhu Mountain!" ”
I just received a letter from Daomen saying that something happened to Longhu Mountain, and now the first point at the source of Shenmu is also Longhu Mountain, and there is definitely some kind of connection between the two. In this way, the two things are combined, and there is no delay.
There are many legendary stories of Longhu Mountain, and the well-known Liangshan 108 will be closely related to it. According to legend, in the third year of Renzong Jiayou in the Northern Song Dynasty, the plague raged in Bianliang, the capital, and the common people suffered heavy casualties. Renzong ordered Taiwei Hongxin to go to Longhu Mountain in Xinzhou, Jiangxi, and asked Zhang Tianshi to open the altar to practice the plague.
Taiwei Hong and his entourage came to Longhu Mountain after being ordered, and the score was quite big, but Zhang Tianshi did not bird him. After thinking that he was being teased by Taoist priests, Taiwei Hong wandered around the Shangqing Palace, came to the Demon Palace, and saw that there were many seals pasted on it, and this thing had to be opened. Ignoring the dissuasion of the Taoist priests, he unsealed all the seals, and ordered to break the lock with a hammer, and found that there was a stone tablet inside, which was engraved with four big characters "open in case of flood".
Captain Hong looked at it, isn't this exactly what he said about me? Divide it, open! So he knocked down the stele, moved the slate, and escaped from the thirty-six Tiangang and seventy-two earths, and then broke into a catastrophe.
It is difficult to distinguish the truth and falsehood of the legend in history, but this allusion has been circulated in Jiangxi and other places. I decided to go, and I read a lot of related stuff. After dinner, I chatted with Zhou Tong and Shang Lin again, all around the Yin and Yang Gate. Both of them, like me, have no experience in managing sects, they are both groping and then gradually improving.
When I went back, it was night, and I found that the ghost daughter-in-law used the backpack she gave away the last time she bought clothes, and she was going to take a plane, but the ghost daughter-in-law couldn't buy a ticket, and the driver hired by Zhou Tong at a high price couldn't let people be idle, and the beautiful girl slept under the protection of the ghost daughter-in-law at night, and ate early the next day, and called the driver to drive to Jiangxi.
When I was resting on the way, I also met Ruan Lin, Yaozhai did not participate in the gathering, but it was also one of the thirty-six doors, and the letters they received were the same as ours, and they also brought five people, because they were on the same road, and there were only two people in our car, Ruan Lin simply ran over, she had a sweet mouth, and praised the ghost daughter-in-law: "Sister, you are getting more and more beautiful." ”
I thought that the ghost daughter-in-law would ignore people, but I didn't expect her to smile and say, "You've become pretty too!" The two opened up the conversation and chatted. I could only listen to it next to me, unable to insert it, and sighed that people will change, but the change of the ghost daughter-in-law is adapting to my life and this society.
On the third day stipulated by the Daomen, we arrived at Longhu Mountain on time, which is a famous scenic spot in Jiangxi, but today is different from usual, the tourists are all decent disciples, among them I also found Pang Tianfei, he also saw me, but did not say hello.
Ruan Lin has been to Longhu Mountain, familiar with the nearby environment, take us everywhere to see, after sunset, there are more than 100 people staying nearby, not long after a small Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain Taoist Temple opened the door and shouted: "Everyone, you can come in." "At one time, more than 100 people gathered, and we were naturally among them.
The little Taoist priest took us to the Demon Suppression Palace, and there was a Taoist priest in his forties standing at the door, holding a dust whisk and saying, "The heads of the various sects come with me, and the rest are waiting outside." ”
Ruan Lin, me and the ghost daughter-in-law are all in charge, and there are more than 20 people in the rest, so it can be seen that the thirty-seven factions are not all here.
Although the Fu Demon Hall has been repaired, it is still antique, and it enshrines Sanqing. Bypassing the Demon Suppression Palace, there is a Liuhe Pagoda behind it, and when it gets close to the tower, the temperature drops suddenly, and the legendary Demon Suppression Well inside is rumbling, and there is a black liquid overflowing from the mouth of the blue brick well.
