Chapter 166: The World in the Picture
I was sure I was right, the old man did call out my name.
At that moment, I suddenly had a creepy feeling.
Because my Zhang family was convicted by the national teacher in the troubled times, it is not allowed to be allowed in heaven and earth. But all the evil people, as long as they kill me, they will have the luck of the Great Qing Dynasty.
So this guy saw through my identity, and all he had to do was shout out and I would be attacked by a horde.
After the initial panic, I immediately calmed down and followed quickly with Chang Wanqing.
Whether he has bad intentions or wants to help me, he has to go and find out. Otherwise, it is really unsettling to put such a time bomb.
The old man's footsteps were very fast, and he was seen walking briskly down the street, when suddenly he turned a corner and went straight into an abandoned house.
There was a green ghost fire hanging at the door of the house, and there were faint figures flashing inside, and there seemed to be quite a few people.
I hid the tantric iron rod in my sleeve and said to Chang Wanqing, "Big brother, I'll go first, and you'll be behind." ”
This kind of thing can't be done by both of them, otherwise it will be easy to be caught in the net.
If something happens to me inside, someone outside will answer me.
In order to hide his identity, Chang Wanqing did not put on the signature yin and yang gloves, but held an ironwood sword and suddenly jumped onto the roof.
I pushed the door open and scanned my eyes to see that it had been converted into a shop.
The walls around are covered with all kinds of picture scrolls, and inside each painting, a little ghost with teeth and claws is sealed inside.
I was slightly surprised, this kind of picture scroll seemed to be exactly the same as the method used to seal Mr. Pi in the first place.
It's a pity that before entering the Miaoshan Ghost City, I was worried that Mr. Pi's sudden speech would reveal our whereabouts, so I sealed his scroll with runes.
Otherwise, you can ask Mr. Pi.
It can be seen that this store is doing well. In addition to me, there were seven or eight guests hanging out inside.
They were all evil spirits in the ghost market of Myosan, and when they saw me come in, their faces showed disgust.
I didn't care, my eyes swept over, but I didn't see the sloppy old man.
Suddenly, I heard a revenant sneer: "Murderer? What did the murderer do in the soul painting shop? ”
Another revenant snorted: "Ignore him, it's useless for them to buy a human skin scroll anyway!" ”
I frowned, then walked briskly to the front desk and said, "Boss." ”
The boss raised his head tremblingly, and I realized that this guy was actually a living person, but he was an old mess, and most of the yang energy on his body was eroded by dead energy.
In this way, it is estimated that there will be no days to live at all. It is estimated that after he dies, he will continue to live in the Miaoshan Ghost Market in the form of a soul.
The old man's eyes were dizzy, and he was still holding a paintbrush in his hand, and he was scribbling on the paper, and when he heard me speak, he pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and said slowly: "Young man, you call me?" ”
I saw that he was a living person, and my tone became a little more respectful: "Boss, was there an old man in the store just now?" ”
The shopkeeper grinned and smiled, "Old man? Do you want the old man in the painting? ”
I raised my voice: "Old man, I don't buy paintings, I want to find an old man who is a little crazy." ”
The shopkeeper tilted his head, then grinned, "The oldest old man? The price is not cheap......"
I was immediately deflated, the shopkeeper didn't know if he was pretending to be stupid or being confused, anyway, I couldn't ask one, two, or three if I continued to ask.
It's better to find out for yourself.
The store is so big that you can see it through two turns. If that old man dares to run out, there will be Chang Wanqing staring outside.
At that moment, I stopped asking the stupid boss, and turned around to walk towards the back room.
As soon as he turned around, he stopped abruptly, staring at a picture scroll on the wall.
In the scroll, an old man who is sloppy and sloppy with a bamboo stick in his hand is looking at me with a smile, although his body is a little dirty, but his eyes are smart, like a living thing.
Isn't this the old man who brought me here? How did you get into the painting?
I was about to exclaim in surprise, the old man in the picture scroll suddenly poked out a bamboo stick and pointed it on me, I only felt dizzy, and when I opened my eyes again, the sun was shining around, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and I actually changed places.
At that time, my hairs stood on end,! A thousand careful, ten thousand careful, I still fell into the other party's way!
Lao Tzu was dragged into the world of painting!
I reached out to touch the tantric iron rod, but I felt empty, and when I was about to bite the tip of my tongue and spray a mouthful of blood around, I heard the sloppy old man say, "Zhang Jiusin! How daring! ”
"Being a guilty body! He even dared to appear in Miaoshan Ghost City! Do you know what this place is! ”
The sloppy old man looked like he was usually smiling, his expression was serious and awe-inspiring, and even the bamboo stick in his hand almost hit me.
I knew that I had met a master, and although I was flustered, I quickly calmed down and said, "The seniors are kind enough to persuade each other, and the juniors are grateful." But there are some things that you can't say you won't do because of the danger. ”
"Also, dare to ask the seniors' surnames?"
The sloppy old man snorted: "My surname is Yu!" As for what it's called, ask you Lao Tzu to go! ”
I muttered in a low voice, surnamed Yu? Haven't heard of it.
But since this man knows me, he thinks that he has no malice. At that moment, I asked respectfully: "Senior, you summoned me over, but there is another mystery in Miaoshan Ghost City?" ”
The sloppy old man sneered: "Do you know where Miaoshan is located outside the borders?" ”
I honestly replied, "The juniors don't know." ”
The sloppy old man snorted: "Miaoshan is located in the center of the Pamir Plateau, and in the earliest days, it was one of the sacred mountains of the plateau. ”
I nodded, in understanding.
The Pamirs are located on the northwestern frontier and are the confluence of the Kunlun Mountains, the Karakoram Mountains, the Hindu Kush Mountains, and the Tien Shan.
The average altitude of this place is more than 4,500 meters, and the average height of the peaks is more than 6,000 meters. Miao Mountain, a mountain peak on the Pamir Plateau, was also one of the territories of the Daqing Dynasty more than 100 years ago.
It's just that a hundred years ago, the Great Qing Dynasty collapsed, and most of the Pamir Plateau was cut off, and since then, it has never been under the jurisdiction of Middle-earth.
The sloppy old man said that Miaoshan has another mystery, is that what he is referring to?
The old man saw that my face changed color slightly, and sneered: "You thought of it? ”
"More than 100 years ago, the Pamirs were known as the Green Mountains, and they were the territory of the Daqing Dynasty!"
"In addition, Miaoshan also has a very special place, that is, the fiefdom of the national teachers of the Great Qing Dynasty!"
My brain is buzzing, Miaoshan really has something to do with the national teacher in the troubled times! No wonder this old man wants to take me into the world of paintings to tell me these things!
Actually, things are not so difficult to understand.
Green Ridge is the place where the four mountain systems meet, and in feng shui parlance, this is the birthplace of the four dragons. The Kunlun Mountains, the Karakoram Mountains, the Tien Shan, the Hindu Kush Mountains, those are all dragons that stretch for thousands of kilometers.
As early as the Qianlong period, the contemporary national teacher took a fancy to this uninhabited plateau, and then when he made great achievements, he asked the emperor to ask for this barren land as a fief.
The Pamir Plateau is inaccessible, the people are fierce, although it belongs to the Daqing Dynasty, but it is too far away, so the emperor did not take it seriously, a paper edict, the Pamir Plateau has become the fief of the national teachers of the Daqing Dynasty.
Later, the power of the Great Qing weakened, other powers poured in, and the imperial dynasty was unable to control the Pamirs, and finally abandoned this place.
But although the plateau has been abandoned, Miaoshan is still in the heart of Daqing.
Later, because of the rebellion against the foreign powers, they were killed by artillery, and all the disciples who had been painstakingly cultivated by the national teachers of the Great Qing Dynasty died in Miaoshan.
It wasn't until later that the ghosts of the exorcists lingered and gathered in Myosan, causing Myosan to become a famous ghost mountain.
It is rumored that after Emperor Daqing announced his abdication, the last national teacher in troubled times once flew away and entered the Miao Mountain.
Because he carried the fortune of the Great Qing Dynasty, all these souls of Miaoshan bowed down to the national teacher in the troubled times and followed behind him.
From another point of view, Miaoshan is not so much a ghost mountain outside the country, but rather a remnant of the former people of Middle-earth.
I couldn't help but shudder in my heart, no wonder Miaoshan Ghost City has such a large scale.
No wonder the Yin soldiers inside are forbidden and obey the rules.
Co-authoring this is not a rabble at all, but a group of dead souls with true beliefs and pursuits.
The so-called Miaoshan Ghost King, maybe he was still a respected exorcist master when he was alive!
It's just that they are following the national teacher in troubled times, and the national teacher in troubled times is just a paranoid. One mind wants to restore the fortune of the dynasty.
Since my Zhang family is the family he personally condemned, it is naturally Miaoshan's mortal enemy!
