Arriving here, it is only half a day's journey from Taibailiang that Lu Jinghong wants to go, but Cheng Ziping has a fever and is difficult to walk, and this half-day journey has become as far away as the end of the world, and now Lu Jinghong is in a dilemma, entering, unable to walk, retreating, and has no physical strength, and wants to ask for help, but there is no mobile phone signal. It rained and winded for days, and there was even a thin layer of ice on the road, and the mountains were white and foggy, cold and damp, and they couldn't tell the direction.

Lu Jinghong stood in the rain in a daze, and lost his sense of proportion for a while. Although he was still wrapped in a raincoat, the wind and the rain still poured from his face to his neck, and he was cold all over his body for a while, and his heart was also cold. Cheng Ziping relied on his good physical strength when he entered the mountain, so he brought an extra alcohol stove and a lot of solid alcohol, boiling water in the tent every night for the past few days, drinking some hot coffee, hot tea, and drying the vest with a warm baby, so that Lu Jinghong barely withstood it, and now the solid alcohol is about to be consumed, knowing that even if the people in front can pass smoothly, and then send a signal for help, when the rescue team arrives, I am afraid that the two will die of hypothermia. And now, looking at the level of Cheng Ziping's fever, I am afraid that life and death will be uncertain if he can't wait for the rescue team to come. Lu Jinghong felt sad in his heart: Are we going to be a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks here! I couldn't help but reach out and touch the still dry manuscript fragments and Qimen disks in the inner pocket of my chest, and sighed in my heart: Could it be that cause and effect are destined, and everything is inevitable?

The manuscript now in a moisture-proof pocket has been reduced to only twenty fragments of pages, with burnt paper edges. That day, since the old Taoist priest drove the two out of the Taoist temple, Lu Jinghong went home to ponder this manuscript, opened it, but shouted that he was deceived, there are only some very simple words in the manuscript, and it seems that between the lines it is also about the nine stars, how to take the meaning of the eight gates, carefully refer to it, but the logic is confused, and the preface does not match the afterword. The twenty-eight houses are not the common horns, kang, di, fang, heart, tail, and kei, but strange symbols that do not know what words, but the arrangement is also like the position of the green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, and the xuanwu each seven houses, and the party guesses that the reference is the twenty-eight houses. After watching it for two days, I still couldn't figure it out, and finally couldn't help but call Senior Brother Zhao, who was thousands of miles away, and told about the adventures of the past two days. Senior Brother Zhao pondered on the other end of the phone for a long time, and said: "That old Taoist priest may indeed be a master, I also heard the elders in the sect talk about it at the beginning, saying that his seniority is very high, and he has an unfathomable reputation, but his reputation in the rivers and lakes is not obvious. At that time, I was also a little young and frivolous, and when I went to visit, I inevitably had a little temptation in my heart. When I went to visit, I didn't encounter getting lost, but every time I went, I would not be there, and when I asked people nearby, many people didn't even know that there was this Taoist temple, and those who knew it said that every time I passed by, it was common for Taoist priests to be in the temple, and rarely went out. When I think about it, it seems that the other party knows what I mean, so I avoid it, which feels quite strange. Hearing this, Lu Jinghong was a little happy, could it be that he really met a master, and he was lucky to be accepted as an apprentice.

"But," Senior Brother Zhao said, "I am a little difficult to say about the matter of accepting apprentices and manuscripts, the process of accepting apprentices in the regular Taoist sect is extremely rigorous, not only the master chooses the apprentice, but also the apprentice also chooses the teacher, from the realization that there is an intention to accept the apprentice, to the final real apprenticeship, it often takes several years, because of the strange technique, want to peep into the heavens, avoid a lot, even if it is only an external technique, if it is passed in the hands of people with bad intentions, it can also be used to make waves, provoke evil causes." The kind of person who sees it and says, your bones are strange, suitable for cultivation or something, but it is just a common path for charlatans, or a third-rate and ungraded... And it was obvious that he didn't want to see you before, but he didn't just avoid you like he did to us, and then he took the initiative to take you as an apprentice, which is really a bit inexplicable. Besides, Qimen Dunjia, the real profound knowledge, has never been seen on paper, such as the magical doors you see on weekdays, the secret legends of Qimen, the flow of birds, to put it bluntly, it is just a superficial introductory knowledge, but I think you don't enter the method, only academic mathematics, and it doesn't hurt to look at it. And the real Qimen Dunjia is profound, it has always been passed down by word of mouth, and it is never seen in words, and you say that this manuscript is logically confusing, and it does not match before and after..."Hearing this, Lu Jinghong was already very frustrated, and the senior brother almost said, "You have been deceived!"

was about to hang up the phone, but I heard the senior brother say again, "Since this matter has caused you to be disturbed, you wait for a while, I'll take a look, after all, I haven't experienced it myself, maybe you have subtle joints that you haven't noticed, I can't just make any judgments, wait for me to start verifying." Then he hung up the phone, and a few minutes later, the senior brother dialed over, and his tone became quite solemn: "Jinghong, I just started a game, and it turned out to be extremely chaotic... It seems to be a big death and a big life, and I can't figure it out. It is said that you are just an apprentice, even if it is a scam, you will not have to worry about your life, but the bureau shows that you have recently committed a series of years and months, everything is unfavorable, and there is a big danger before the moon, and you will die in a straight way, and it will also involve the stagecoach, this dangerous place falls on the outside plate, it should be in distress in the field, you must not travel far within 100 days, remember to remember!"

Senior Brother Zhao also said that there would be a big risk within 100 days, which confirmed the words of the old Taoist. Lu Jinghong couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. Lu Jinghong has no way to judge the level of the old Taoist, but Lu Jinghong is extremely impressed by Senior Brother Zhao's Qimen break. When I first followed Senior Brother Zhao to learn Qimen, there were often senior brothers who took things around him out to measure, and Senior Brother Zhao broke the game very quickly, often in one sentence. One day, a senior brother got up early and said in the WeChat group: I am going to do something today, you can guess what I am going to do, and those who guess will be rewarded with red envelopes. Some people say that they want to have a treat today, some people say they are going to visit friends today, Senior Brother Zhao said with a smile: "Spending money is certain, but it is definitely not a treat." Are you planning to go to the Taoist Temple today to receive the transmission?" The senior brother was taken aback and said, "How do you know?" Senior Brother Zhao said again: "I calculated it for you, it will probably cost about three thousand seven." The senior brother said: "Well, I just finished the budget, it happens to be 3720..." At that time, some people in the group privately suspected that the two were colluding to raise their prices, but only two days later, a senior brother asked for help, saying that his relatives went out fishing the day before and did not return overnight, and now they have lost contact and asked for help from all Yiyou. At that time, Lu Jinghong also played a game, only to see that the owner was in an extremely dangerous situation, but he didn't dare to break lightly, Senior Brother Zhao had already said: "The person is dead, entangled by something, trapped in the bottom of the water, ready to salvage, if you can't catch it at noon, you will definitely be able to find it before Shen Shi." "Within three hours, there was feedback that the person had drowned, fell into the water while fishing, got entangled in the net, and was fished out of the water at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. After this incident, everyone was quite convinced. Because the subject is thousands of miles away from Senior Brother Zhao, there is no disadvantage of empathy in advance, and no one will joke about the life and death of his relatives.

At this time, Lu Jinghong remembered his senior brother's repeated instructions, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Senior brother, senior brother, although you calculated that I had this life and death dilemma three months ago, and warned me in advance that I should not travel far, who knew that I still had to come to this life and death situation. There is really providence in the dark!
