Chapter 667: Westward Journey to Dunhuang

"Old Daoist, according to what you mean, is it the resurrection of the corpse caused by the Divine Sect?"

Yue Guanchao's words, Bai Chongyang couldn't be sure: "The Cult of the Gods only used the living corpse, as for how the living corpse was resurrected, it is still a mystery, their activities have become more and more frequent over the years, and they have begun to treat diseases and save people again, it is likely that the ritual of inviting the Yin God will also have them to disturb the situation, if you don't believe it, just wait a few days to invite the Yin God to take a look." ”

"In those days, it happened to be the spring equinox festival, there are a lot of Wu dance groups to come out, you float along the river all the way to the Jialing River, you can see a lot of Wu God Sect of the god of the boat, then, maybe you can also see the cure to save people or give porridge gifts, the fanaticism of the people, can be seen."

Song Siyuan heard the meaning of the old Taoist priest's words: "Old Taoist, since it is the Wu God Sect, you must also know that there is something strange behind the scenes of the Wu God Sect, so you let the people of Jiangyou Pass close the city pass, then, what is the role of the oil lamp at night?" ”

"These oil lamps are all soaked in clear oil to cure diseases and save people, in order to prevent the people from being poisoned, if your words are right, the effect of these clear oils is minimal, since those people can make the people of Jiangyou Town Gu, this shows that the Wushen Sect has a higher and more superb method of harming people."

Yue Guanchao thought to himself, the old Taoist priest probably didn't know the news of the Yinping Witch Realm, so he always thought that this was done by the Wushen Sect, but recalling what You Tianchen Lao Dao said, the abnormal state of the Yinping was related to the title of the Yinping Wuzhai Clan, and the combination of the two could basically determine a fact - the Wushen Sect was probably just a puppet church, and it was likely that the remnants of the Wushen Kingdom were manipulating them to do things.

Thinking about this, Song Siyuan and Yue Guanchao were a little more curious about the Wu God Sect in their hearts, she wanted to confess to the old Taoist, but now it seems that it is not yet time, they don't know whether Bai Lao Dao is an enemy or a friend, so they can only hide it from him for the time being.

"Didn't you want to get to the bottom of the truth?" m.

Yue Guanchao asked his most curious question, You Tianchen said that the Taoists of Heming Mountain have always had a soul that has exceeded the Yin Ping, and it makes no sense to do nothing now.

When the old Taoist priest heard this, he sighed a long sigh: "Heming Mountain can indeed descend demons and punish ghosts, whether it is to collect the bones in the past, or to do things, it is all to surpass the dead so that the dead can rest in peace, but, people's fanaticism has nothing to do with us, right now, the troubled times are dark, the flesh has become a ghost, and all living beings have repeatedly shown their ghost appearance, even the government is helpless about it, as a Taoist, he can only advise people to do good and accumulate virtue, and the living corpse is obviously the handiwork of the Wu God Sect, since we know that this is not a ghost god, what can we do?" Being able to reassure people's hearts is already what we can do! ”

"However, Lao Dao can introduce you to a person, there is a Taoist who returned from the northwest, it was from Yinping that he entered Shudi, he has been repairing here for more than a month, and he has always been chivalrous and evil, you might as well discuss it with him, maybe he can find a way to deal with living corpses."

"Who?"

"I'll ask him to come over and talk about it, and you'll see."

After speaking, the old Taoist priest gestured to Xiaodao Tong's eyebrows, and between his breaths, he had already seen two people coming in a hurry.

"There is no god in the Qinling Mountains, there are cyclamen in the mountains, I don't know which kind guest wants to see me."

The golden light of the day, the swaying bamboo forest, everyone heard its voice before they saw it, and the clear and open-minded voice was very familiar.

The white-clothed Taoist met their eyes, and his eyes lit up: "Brother Yue, we meet again." ”

"Brother Xu, goodbye to the rivers and lakes so soon!"

Yue Guanchao thought it would be a wandering Taoist, but he didn't expect it to be Xu Xiake, in addition to surprise, there was also a trace of curiosity in his eyes.

"It turns out that a few people know each other, so since this is the case, you might as well catch up in the apse, and you will have a harvest."

A few people walked into the apse and came to the backyard, Song Siyuan had long wanted to see the situation of the Yinping Ancient Road, just now I heard the old Taoist say that Xu Xiake entered Shu from Yinping, and asked: "Brother Xu, why are you so dark, and you won't be so sunny when you go to the northwest." ”

"It's a long story, after I went south from the Qinling Ancient Road, I went to the northwest ...... from Longnan."

A few months ago, after Xu Xiake and Yue Guanchao and his party said goodbye, they wanted to go south to Sichuan and Shu, but later met a group of caravans in Hanzhongyi, saying that they had found a Tibetan scripture cave near Dunhuang City, and some foreigners went there to buy and sell scriptures, and made a lot of money in the international market.

Some cultural relics dealers smelled a business opportunity and began to dig Buddhist caves in Dunhuang, and also wanted to find out what scriptures were sold at a high price in the international market.

Xu Xiake listened to it on the side, his heart was itching, anyway, he hadn't traveled to Hexi, and decided to follow these merchants to the northwest, and at the same time, he also wanted to see what the scriptures that had been handed down for thousands of years looked like, so Xu Xiake took out the silver yuan, followed the group of merchants to Longnan, and entered the Hexi Corridor from Su Province.

Along the way, he followed the camel convoy to gnaw naan cakes, eat cheese, walk through the Loess Plateau, wade through the desolate Gobi in the oasis valley, encounter the yellow sand and long weather, people and camels were scraped to the north, and so on crossed the Hexi Corridor countless towns, finally, came to the oasis Dunhuang City.

After Xu Xiake arrived in Dunhuang, he was not familiar with the place, and he inquired about the news of the Tibetan Scripture Cave when he met people, and he followed the guidance of the locals to the crescent moon oasis in the southeast of Dunhuang City, and then found the Dunhuang Tibetan Scripture Cave near the oasis.

Here, he met a Taoist priest of the Taiqing Palace, Wang Yuanji.

According to Daoist Wang, many foreigners had come to him to buy scriptures before, and at first he was reluctant to sell the scriptures to foreigners, but seeing that these foreigners were holding the permission documents of the government, and there were officers and soldiers protecting them along the way, what could he do, a little Taoist priest with no money and power, could only sell them half and give them away.

When Xu Xiake went, those scriptures had been protected, and he heard Daoist Wang say that when he first discovered the scriptures, he had already reported them to the local government, but after seven years, no one paid attention to him, so that he was disheartened.

When the group of foreigners publicized the Dunhuang scriptures all over the world, the former government knew that the scriptures were priceless, but they only sent people to give a few hundred taels of silver for repairs, and did not do much protection, but because of their fame, they attracted more foreigners to buy the scriptures.

If you don't sell it, these foreigners will rely on people and horses to steal it, and the scriptures of Dunhuang have been bought and stolen so far, and another part has been sent to the capital by the former government in the name of protection, and its whereabouts are still unknown.

Xu Xiake also knew at this time that the original theft of scriptures was so serious, and in the second half of the month, he helped Wang Taoist to sort out the Dunhuang Tibetan scrolls, and even took to see countless Tibetan scripture cave murals, although the old Taoist priest was thin, but he was quite enthusiastic about repairing the library and building a building.

Some people died, but not completely......
