Chapter Seventy-Three: Life Renewal Array
This man and a dog were drinking tea in the hut.
Wang Qian directly soaked a small pot for the earth dog, and it drank it happily.
Hundreds of miles away, in Macheng and Qingming Mountain, a group of four people traveled through the mountains, and they were fully equipped.
After walking about seven or eight miles along the path covered with barren grass in the mountains, a dilapidated Taoist temple appeared in front of them, and several people stopped.
"This is it!" Guo Huaiyang looked at the Taoist temple in front of him whose gate had collapsed.
"I checked the local county records, and there is a record of a Taoist temple, which was built more than 400 years ago, and the person who funded the construction of this Taoist temple is surnamed He, and it is very likely that it is He Zhiyuan."
"In addition, the only two rumors about this Taoist temple are related to hauntings."
"Haunted?" Shen Jiangcheng on the side was slightly stunned after hearing this.
"Yes, some time ago, a few young people came here to explore the secrets, and they encountered an abnormal event in a cave in the mountain behind the Taoist temple, and after going back, they were seriously ill and almost died, and the results of the hospital's examination were unexplained multiple organ failure, and the treatment was ineffective, they went to the Xiantong Temple in Qingliang Mountain, and found an old Zen master named Yankong to save his life."
In a very short period of time, Guo Huaiyang found out so much news, which made Shen Jiangcheng very surprised, and at the same time, he became more and more curious about his identity.
"They've also been in this temple?"
"I've been in, but they didn't have any accidents in this temple, let's go in and have a look?"
"Okay."
A few people cautiously entered the Taoist temple. This temple is not large, and the layout is still exquisite.
The small courtyard of the Taoist temple is paved with bluestone, overgrown with wild grass, and there are two ancient trees in the courtyard, one pine and one cypress, which grow very tall.
The main hall in the middle has collapsed more than half, and it is full of dust and debris, and the god platform is dedicated to the god Sanqing. They found nothing useful in the hall.
There is also a row of rooms at the back of the main hall with bedrooms, a place for reception, and a room.
"This is, Danfang! This Taoist priest is still alchemy? Looking at the dusty Dan furnace, Guo Huaiyang was slightly stunned.
Shen Jiangcheng stepped forward and took a closer look.
"It is indeed a Dan furnace, which is relatively rare, although there is a Dan Dao in Taoism, but in fact, there are not many Taoist priests who can refine Dan, this is a profound knowledge."
Demon Museum
"Alchemy, do you want to live forever?"
"Look for it, there may be Danfang in this house." Shenjiang City Road.
Oh, Guo Huaiyang's eyes lit up after hearing this.
Several people carefully searched in the Dan room separately, and after searching for more than an hour, they found nothing.
Just as he was about to leave, Shen Jiangcheng suddenly thought of something, carefully turned around the room twice, then took out a small hammer, gently knocked on the wall, and sure enough, he found a cavity, and after opening it, there was a booklet and a gourd.
The two men glanced at each other and saw that each other's eyes were shining.
Guo Huaiyang stretched out his hand to pick up the gourd, shook it, there was still a sound inside, opened the stopper, and there was a unique smell inside, and when he looked inside, there were actually two pills in it.
Shen Jiangcheng picked up the booklet and looked through it cursoryly, the content recorded in it was the method of alchemy.
"This is really good, how did Professor Shen think that there might be a secret grid here?"
"It also came to me suddenly, it's a professional habit, in fact, there are hidden compartments in the walls of some ancient buildings and ancient tombs, which are used to store some very important items, I just tried it, but I didn't expect to find it."
"I always felt that inviting Professor Shen to join us was the right decision!" Guo Huaiyang said happily.
They searched the temple several times.
At noon, when the sun was at its highest, they came to the outside of the cave behind the Taoist temple.
"Immortals?" Guo Huaiyang looked at the half-broken stele, there were still a few pieces of broken stone behind the stele, and after they restored the stone, there was a word "Deng" on it.
"Dengxian? This is to become an immortal! He turned his head to look at the grassy cave.
"Professor Shen, let's go in and have a look?"
"Okay."
The four of them came to the entrance of the cave, first looked at the entrance of the cave, and after confirming that there was no curse or formation on the stone walls on both sides, they continued to go deeper, and walked seven or eight meters inside, and suddenly a wider cave appeared in front of them
The most conspicuous thing in the cave is the white bones on the ground.
They stood at the entrance, and did not rush in, but followed the light in their hands to carefully observe the situation in the cave.
There are charms and scriptures on the stone walls around the cave, and some charms are also carved on the ground, and the white bones are not disorganized, but have some patterns.
"Professor Shen, if you look at the scriptures on the stone wall, it seems to be ......"
"The Book of the Earth?" Shen Jiangcheng said softly.
"This Taoist temple must be related to He Zhiyuan, it can't be wrong!"
"It's weird to look out there, I'd better not rush in." Shen Jiangcheng suggested.
Guo Huaiyang took a few photos on his mobile phone at the entrance of the cave and sent them to a person. After a short while, the phone rang.
"Hello, Michigan."
"That should be the "Life Continuation Array", taking away the life of others for their own use, in order to prolong their lives, a very evil magic circle. The voice on the other end of the phone was full of anger.
"Is it dangerous for us to go in?"
"I don't know how many people have died in vain, how many years of resentment have been accumulated, if you enter the magic circle, you will definitely be affected. If you want to enter, you need to find someone to open the altar and try to dispel those grievances. You'd better get out of there! ”
Guo Huaiyang didn't hesitate too much after hearing this, and discussed it with Shen Jiangcheng, and they withdrew from the cave.
In the face of exploring secrets and his own life and death, he did not hesitate to choose the latter. Only by staying alive can it be possible to explore more secrets.
They left with the gourd elixir and the scriptures of alchemy.
After leaving Macheng, they returned to Jicheng, and Guo Huaiyang took Shen Jiangcheng to a place, which was a research institute with some advanced equipment and a lot of materials.
"This is one of our scientific research institutions, and Mr. Shen can come here at any time if he needs anything." Guo Huaiyang sent someone to get a pass for Shen Jiangcheng.
"What are you mainly engaged in in research, metaphysics?"
"Mainly metaphysics, but also materials, medicine, etc." Guo Huaiyang led the way in front, introducing as he walked.
"Are there any research results?"
"Yes, please come with me!"
They came to the backyard, a large open space.
"You see, in these two places, with the same plants and the same management, the vegetation here is obviously more lush."
Guo Huaiyang pointed to two plots of land, in which seedlings were planted, and the branches of the trees on one side were obviously more lush and thick.
