Volume 1 Sacrifice of the Corpse to the Mountain Chapter 2 The Day of Destiny

"The day...... Is it finally here? โ€

Zhang Shouyu stared at the hexagram, with mixed feelings in his heart.

After a while, he stood anxiously in front of the main temple gate, staring at the Fushou rice on the ground in a daze.

The master didn't eat a bite of the food he sent at noon today.

"Master?"

He called softly.

No one in the temple answered, so he shouted softly twice, and Zhang Zhenshan's old voice slowly came out.

"Fish ......"

"Master, I'm here, what are you doing?"

Hearing that something was wrong with the master, Zhang Shouyu raised his hand and wanted to push open the bronze door and go in to take a look, but suddenly remembered the master's rule of not entering the room, and finally slowly withdrew his palm.

"Master, that hexagram ......"

"For the teacher to know, what should come is still coming."

"Master, what are you talking about, what are you here?"

"Don't ask me, fish, do you remember that visitor three years ago?"

"I remember, he ate three bowls of Fushou rice, and left us five oceans!"

The person the master said came to the temple once three years ago, and Zhang Shouyu only remembered that he was tall and thin, wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, and a "Xuan" character tattooed on his right sleeve and shoulder.

Master said that he was from the ancestral Xuanmen, which was currently the most powerful tomb robber sect in the south.

The tall and thin man did not stay long in the temple, and the master invited him into the main temple, and the two of them quarreled while talking, and finally broke up unhappily.

"The ...... three years ago It is Liu Siye, we are from the same school, he is my junior brother, the master taught me the upper eight Kanyu techniques, and passed the lower eight corpse Gu techniques to him...... This deflated calf thing has been chirping since childhood, and it didn't want to grow up...... He made his career in the south, and then joined the ancestral Xuanmen, and now he is the master of the ancestral Xuanmen. โ€

"In this way, that's my uncle."

Zhang Shouyu was a little excited when he heard this, but Master's voice became weaker and weaker.

"Don't mention the mountain cannon...... Fish, from now on, you don't need to move corpses anymore. โ€

"Really?"

Zhang Shouyu's expression was shocked when he heard this, but Zhang Zhenshan hid at the door and cursed.

"Then if Liu Si still thinks that I am a senior brother, I will not do such a thing that violates the ancestral teachings. Over the years, he has taken refuge in the warlords of Zhili, supported by the big backer of the Beiyang Tiger, which can be said to be windy and rainy. I knew he would come looking for me when he got his way, but I didn't expect it...... His methods will be so ruthless and resolute! โ€

"Master, I don't understand what you're talking about."

Zhang Shouyu touched the hairpin on his head, and was about to continue asking, when he suddenly heard the sound of chanting mantras from inside.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Zhang Zhenshan inside the door did not respond, but there was a bump of rummaging through boxes and cabinets. The more Zhang Shouyu listened, the more strange he felt, after all, there was no one else in this main temple except Zhang Zhenshan......

The bumping sound grew louder and louder, and after a while, another muffled sound came from inside the bronze door.

"Poof-"

It was as if something had fallen to the ground, followed by the sound of the rubbing of the stone floor.

"Rustle-rustle-rustle!"

"Master, you open the door, what you said is so bald, I can hear it in a daze, what the hell are you telling the apprentice!"

Zhang Shouyu was a little overwhelmed.

The sound of friction in the temple was getting closer and closer, and he looked through the crack in the door, and the next moment he burst into tears and wailedโ€”

An old Taoist priest was lying on the ground, surrounded by dense blood-colored talismans, each of which grabbed his veins and flesh, tearing his old human skin to pieces!

"Masterโ€”โ€”!"

Zhang Shouyu couldn't sit idly by, and immediately stretched out his hand to drag the ring, only to find that the bronze temple door was as heavy as a mountain, and it seemed that it was not the weight that could be opened by human beings at all!

"Master! Master! โ€

He screamed in a hurry, and then there was another strange sound in the door.

"Boom, Boom!"

"Gollum-Gollum-"

First there was the sound of bones being squeezed and cracked, and then there was the gurgling sound of a rooster bleeding!

Zhang Shouyu was so frightened that he couldn't give up, and he paced back in a panic, but before he took a few steps, the bronze door that was as heavy as a mountain slowly opened a corner!

A skinny old palm slowly poked out, and a jade pendant hung on his trembling fingers.

When!

The jade pendant fell to the ground, and the bronze door closed again.

At the same time, a strong smell of blood raged through the crack in the door.

"Master, are you in a bloody formation? You don't want to die? โ€

"Fish...... Bring this yang fish jade with you. The fate of you and my master and apprentice is temporarily over today, you immediately go down the mountain to find Hulanhe Zhang's family, and find a person who also carries this jade pendant, and say that Zhang Laogou sent someone to Jiayin's appointment! โ€

The master roared hoarsely in the main temple, Zhang Shouyu cried miserably and didn't dare to make a loud noise, at this moment, the mountain temple seemed to have become a sea of nosebleeds!

"What is Jiayin's covenant, Master, open the door and let the apprentice take a look!"

Zhang Zhenshan ignored Zhang Shouyu's plea, and the bronze door slowly closed.

In the moment before closing, there was a crisp popping sound in the temple, followed by the sound of falling and gushing like a spring!

"Round-upโ€”"

Two beads rolled out of the crack in the door, and the two doors closed again.

A puddle of blood squeezed and splashed from the closure, instantly painting the gluttonous grimaces on the two collars.

The blood is green, not human blood!

Zhang Shouyu stared at the two beads on the ground with a pale face, and it took a long time to tell that they were a pair of bloodshot eyeballs!

"Masterโ€”"

He wailed in pain, and the two eyeballs were no longer covered by his eyelids, and his gaze was straight to the left and right, staring at the two rows of white candles in the courtyard.

"Shhhh

A candle that has not been extinguished for many years has been extinguished.

"What a howl! Your master and I are not so thin, I can't die! โ€

"What the hell is going on, Master......"

Everything that happened tonight was too treacherous, and the second monk Zhang Shouyu was puzzled, staring at the green blood splattered on the bronze door, and thinking of the hundreds of shrouds buried in the past, and the half-cut palm that he glimpsed in the moonlight that night.

Zhang Zhenshan is obviously in the company of "them" and is secretly planning something vicious. It's just that this old stubborn didn't tell him anything, and Zhang Shouyu could only stare at him in a hurry.

"Fish, go to the side room...... Pack your bags, go down the mountain, you have a maximum of seven seven and forty-nine days, and the jade pendant will be given to the Zhang family, and you will know the number of follow-up roads. I hope that people's hearts are not ancient, if the Zhang family refuses to make a move...... I'm afraid you'll be dead! โ€

"What?"

Zhang Shouyu was shocked when he heard this, he had been with Zhang Zhenshan for a long time, and he had already become a master who cherished his life. However, since the master said so, Zhang Shouyu could only obey orders.

He bred up his spirits and ran to the side room for a toss, and it didn't take long for him to pack his bags and rush back to the courtyard, and at this moment, there was another hissing sound in the courtyard.

The two rows of candles in the courtyard were all extinguished one after another!

"Qimen Dunjia...... Master, you want to lock the temple? โ€

Zhang Shouyu once saw Zhang Zhenshan perform this technique in Beidaihe, Qimen Dunjia walked the Tiangang Qimen formation, changed the general trend of heaven and earth, and once the ordinary man who did not have Taoism was in the middle of the technique, even if the temple was in front of him, he could not see it as if it was empty.

Zhang Zhenshan has been immersed in this way for many years, but he is completely interested in using this way to steal chickens and dogs. Whether it is the chicken of the tenant household or the nest head of the widow Li, they can be easily taken away by this old lame, which is also the biggest reliance of the master and apprentice for many years.

Now that all the white candles in the temple are extinguished, it is the beginning of Zhang Zhenshan's plan to cast spells on the temple. It is clear that the situation has reached a very serious point.

At the same time, deep in the northwest side of the mountainside outside the mountain temple, there were bursts of indescribable wails!

In contrast to Zhang Shouyu, he seemed to have figured out something, wiped the tears on his face, and was no longer as panicked as he was just now.

He packed his bags and walked to the temple gate, and the moment he crossed the threshold, he turned his head and glanced at the bronze temple door.

"Master, I can go, and I have three words to say before leaving."

The young Taoist priest frowned slightly, put a big Qingjing seal in his hand, and then every time he said a word, he bowed to the main temple gate for ten years.

"Master, I think that when you took me to escape from the famine, there was an empty house under the mountain where the victims died, so you chose to stay in this strange mountain temple, it shouldn't be as simple as being desperate, right?"

Anyway, it's a decade of service.

"Master, you are vague about your disciple's question, and you only allow your disciple to obey orders but never explain anything. Now the apprentice's wings are gradually hardened, I feel that the skills I learned from you should be of some great use, you used to let me eat Fushou rice I have eaten, let me bury those ghost things I buried, now you use Qimen Dunjia to seal the temple and blast me away, and also told me the way of destiny on 7749 days, is it because I want to continue to listen to you when I leave you, right? โ€

Anyway, Lent is prayed.

"Master, no matter how grateful I am to you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive today. Ten years ago, you met me for the first time, and said that I had a great Qing and quiet appearance to inherit the mantle. Now that I think about it, it must have been all for today's actions, right? โ€

"Our master and apprentice, was that encounter really an accident of a blind cat touching a dead mouse?"

After the Lent ceremony, the main temple was still full of ghosts, but Zhang Zhenshan stopped speaking as if he was weak-hearted.

Seeing this, Zhang Shouyu grinned, showed a mouth full of white teeth, smiled innocently, stretched out his fingers to remove the raw rice grains between his teeth, and then ran out of the old temple without looking back.

"Master, that's all I say, I'm Zhang Shouyu gone!"
