Chapter 179: Cornucopia (1)
Luo Tian Dajiao, this is the supreme festival of Taoism, even if Jiang Xian arrived two weeks early. The entire Longhu Mountain also presents a busy scene.
Hundreds of Taoists all moved, replacing new couplets for each Taoist temple, drawing colored silk, placing charms, and setting up incense cases...... So much so that after Jiang Xian stepped into the mountain gate, no one came up to greet him.
Maybe this has something to do with the fact that he and Ling Xiaozi both wrapped themselves tightly and wore sunglasses and masks.
The two of them slipped towards the Heavenly Master's Mansion as fast as they crossed the street.
The Heavenly Master's Mansion is not on the mountain, but on the Shangqing Town at the bottom of the mountain. It is close to Xihua Mountain in the north, the door is adjacent to the Luxi River, facing the Pipa Mountain, and the mountain is with water, and the momentum is magnificent. Although it has been renovated several times, the current Tianshi Mansion is still mainly made of wood from Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. The red pillars and black tiles, the door plaque is hung high, and the weather is thousands.
Walking here, it is already incompatible with the busy scene at the foot of the mountain. The trees here are thick, the grass is abundant, and several hundred-year-old trees will defend the Heavenly Master's Mansion with arches and cornices. The vicissitudes of time came to my face.
There were only two little boys sweeping the ground at the door. Ling Xiaozi swallowed his saliva fiercely, prepared to be fearless, and arched his shoulders to Gong Jiang Xian: "You go!" ”
"Fuck off!" Jiang Xian squirted mercilessly: "I will finish the bad things I have done!" Serve tea, kowtow, and this matter is over. ”
Ling Xiaozi said with difficulty: "Are you sure that there is no link that has been killed?" ”
“…… Probably not. ”
Just when the two were passing the buck to each other, Xiao Daotong's puzzled eyes had already looked over. If it weren't for the fact that such inexplicable people often came, he would have shouted out by now.
"Now that you're here, come in." Suddenly, an old voice rang like a bell. With this sound, the trees on both sides rose and fell like waves. Ling Xiaozi turned his head and was about to run, but Jiang Xian grabbed the other party's collar.
"Let Daddy go!" Ling Xiaozi trembled and said, "This old thing's skills have improved again!" This internal force ...... I can't get out if I go in! ”
Didn't you say that you are afraid of being weak and strong? How can there be such an existence that grows older and more demonic?
Ten minutes later, Jiang Xian grabbed the other party's collar and dragged him directly into the door.
As soon as he stepped through the gate, his neck immediately sneaked in, and in front of him was the statue of the ancestor of the Sanqing Dao, the sun was shining, and the golden bodies of the three immortals were amiable. The door of the house was empty. After just one glance, he immediately retracted his head like a turtle. Touched his neck.
Very good...... It's still there.
Ling Xiaozi looked at him with disdain, and the corners of his mouth hung a smile of "pretend, continue to pretend for Dad". Quite meaningful.
"Xu Zhenren?" Jiang Xian didn't dare to enter the door, and shouted tentatively at the door: "The junior has come in?" ”
No one answered.
Jiang Xian coughed lightly, stood on tiptoe and walked inside. As soon as they entered the door, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the door slammed shut behind them, and the two of them trembled in fright. Ling Xiaozi hugged Jiang Xian, tears flowed together: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die!" I knew he was going to lock us up and beat us up! You idiot have to go inside......"
"Ahem......" Before the words fell, an old cough sounded. A slightly chubby elderly Taoist priest, wearing a pure yang crown and a cyan robe, holding a whisk in his hand, happened to look at the two of them for a long time.
In an instant, the gaffes of the two were all closed. Ling Xiaozi knelt on the ground without hesitation, kowtowed, and said, "Master! Mingjian! ”
Jiang Xian looked at the other party like a ghost, and Ling Xiaozi's words had already bounced out like marbles: "It's all this bewitchment surnamed Jiang!" I was supposed to come back and admit my mistake, but he kept pulling me and wouldn't let me go! If it weren't for his force to force ......"
"Alright." Xu Zhenren said lightly: "Kneel." When will you speak and come back in. ”
Ling Xiaozi closed his mouth tacitly, knelt respectfully in front of the statue of Sanqing, and didn't dare to put a fart.
Jiang Xian followed Xu Zhenren inside. Inside is a set of ancient Chinese style rooms. There is a computer on the table and a TV on the wall. The space is huge, I am afraid there are hundreds of square meters, and it is elegantly separated by several screens. Xu Zhenren moved his slightly chubby body and sat on the Luohan bed panting. Only then did he point to the opposite position.
"When people get old, their physical strength can't keep up." He sighed and shook off the dust, like a silver dragon, wrapping around the teapot accurately. The soft whisk seems to come to life, and the tea is poured into the cup accurately.
Good precision power control...... Jiang Xian took a deep breath, respectfully held the tea in both hands, and half-knelt on the ground. He said in a deep voice: "The younger generation is in charge of the mountains and seas, Jiang Xian, and makes amends to Xu Zhenren." ”
"Hmm." Xu Zhenren waited for him to kneel for three seconds, then he hummed lightly, shook off the dust, rolled over the teacup, took a sip, and nodded: "Knowing mistakes can be changed, and kindness is great." You are more sensible than Ling Xiaozi. It's a little late, though. ”
Jiang Xian didn't dare to get up, his face turned red.
To be honest, he didn't expect it, he originally thought that Xu Zhenren would hang up and beat them directly when he saw them. But who would have thought that a few years of disagreement would be a matter of one sentence.
I care a lot, but others don't pay attention to it at all. Originally, he thought he was open-minded, however, in the face of truly open-minded people, he found that he still couldn't let go.
"Get up and speak." Xu Zhenren threw out the dust for the third time, and it happened to be on Jiang Xian's waist, and with a light wrap, Jiang Xian only felt that a huge force was born out of thin air, and he couldn't tolerate his refusal at all, and the person had already stood up.
He glanced at Xu Zhenren deeply. The other party is not good-looking, the only difference from the ordinary old man is that there are no wrinkles on his face and hands. How ordinary it looks in other aspects. But this short body contains the pinnacle power that human martial arts can reach.
"Refining Qi and Turning Void?" He sat down cautiously and asked tentatively.
"It's a fluke, too." Xu Zhenren did not deny it, his expression was extremely natural, and he gently stroked his beard: "I just made a breakthrough half a year ago. When I really got to this level, I knew that refining and refining gas, refining gas and turning void into void were the cycles of heaven and earth. The essence is self-contained in the body, and I feel that I have been dissolved that day, and I should be able to become an incorruptible golden body. ”
The incorruptible golden body refers to the corpse whose body decays extremely slowly after death. And the whole body is odorless, the color does not change, and there is no doubt about the living. There used to be clear records in Shendu and Chang'an, but for thousands of years, there were less than five records.
Jiang Xian thought for a while and said, "Tyson's fist is said to have a ton?" ”
Xu Zhenren smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "He can't touch me." ”
"Where's the Muay Thai champion?"
"They're not as good as Tyson." Xu Zhenren said calmly: "One force breaks ten thousand laws." Muay Thai is flexible enough, but in terms of the lethality of the fist alone, Tyson should be the limit of human beings. ”
Jiang Xian understood.
"Please come, not for you to admit your mistake." Xu Zhenren glanced at him and said slowly, "I heard Long Tiansheng's words. Your ancestor did come here at the beginning. However, the truth is a little different from what he said. ”
He stood up, pushed open the back door and walked out. Jiang Xian immediately followed.
He had a feeling that after Xu Zhenren broke through that boundary, the temperament of the whole person was difficult to understand. In the past, Xu Zhenren would also show some leaked emotions. But now, the other side has no waves.
It's as if you're looking at the same creatures. Whether it's people, or cats and dogs. It's hard for him to say whether it's indifference or real inaction. He is not qualified to judge other people's ways of being. He knew one thing, though.
If Long Tiansheng dares to come here, he will definitely die!
A few years ago, there were still many Taoist veterans sitting here. But today, none of them are gone. There are only two sweepers. He now knows that this is because ordinary people don't want to make trouble here at all, and if they don't wear guns, no number of people will be able to get out.
Even he doubted...... Ordinary pistols are estimated to be of little use to Xu Zhenren.
The two didn't say anything all the way. Xu Zhenren's pace is not fast, and when he doesn't do it, he is not much different from ordinary old people. The two walked all the way through a 20-meter-long cobblestone floor to the front of a house built against a hill.
The door was closed, and Xu Zhenren took out a key to open it. The two walked in front and back.
The key here is actually in the hands of Xu Zhenren himself...... This place must be extraordinary. Jiang Xian looked around carefully, but found that this was just a hall to worship Lao Tzu.
The floor is an ordinary bluestone slab, and four pillars stand. Inside is a statue of Lao Tzu riding a green ox upside down. Candles burned on both sides. There are three futons on the floor, and next to them are rows of old candlesticks. Other than that, there is nothing.
Xu Zhenren walked to the statue, turned the candle slightly, and with a rumbling sound, the ground in the center actually sank, revealing a pitch-black passage below!
Da Da Da ...... The lights inside slowly lit up, and Jiang Xian was surprised to find that there was a very modern passage inside!
The two sides are made of alloy, and the light can be seen. The lights are overhead, and there is a camera every five meters. This is not at all like the bottom of Longhu Mountain, but like some secret base!
Xu Zhenren took the lead and walked down, and said as he walked: "The style is a little mismatched, isn't it?" ”
It wasn't an inquiry, Jiang Xian didn't answer, Xu Zhenren seemed to say to himself: "Behind these alloy walls, there are ancient stone slabs. There is no engraving. This is a passage from a long time ago. This Taoist temple was built in the Qianlong period...... Did Fang Yunye say anything to you? ”
This sentence came inexplicably, Jiang Xian blinked his eyes, and suddenly reacted.
During the Qianlong period......
Republic of Lanfang......
"It's not going to be ...... here," he gasped. But before he could finish speaking, Xu Zhenren said leisurely: "There are some connections, but they are not complete." ”
The journey was not long, and it soon came to an end. And at the end, there is a room of about 100 square meters. In the depths of the room, there is a bird's-eye view of Longhu Mountain!
Xu Zhenren's hand was placed on it, groped lightly, and said softly: "Here is Sanqing Temple, here is Shangqing Palace, here is Taiqing Palace, here is Yuqing Palace, and here is Disciple Temple...... Xiao Jiang, did you find anything? ”
Jiang Xian looked at the picture carefully, and after a few minutes, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to the most central area and said, "What is this?" ”
There is nothing there.
The whole picture is all over Longhu Mountain, but a huge blank space is left in the center.
Xu Zhenren took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "There, it is the Great Shangqing Palace. ”
"Its history is even older than that of the Shangqing Palace. It is no longer known who built it. However, before 1940, the Dashang Qing Palace was burned down by the Kuomintang. ”
