I was surprised, but I still replied calmly, "Okay, let's come out and meet now, you name a location".
"The location is downstairs from the hotel where you are resting, I have already found a good location, you and your friends can come."
The visitor seemed to know everything about me, and it was clear that he was already spying on us, and even started following us for a long time, so we had to be more careful in the future.
After hanging up the phone, I told Xiang Fei about the situation, only to see Xiang Fei's face also solemn, "This person is not simple, but we have to go for a while now."
"Well, that's right, let's see what tricks he wants to play."
The five of us walked down, and as soon as we reached the downstairs hall, we saw a man in the corner waving to us, a man dressed in a very literati style.
We walked over, and the man greeted us warmly, and there was a woman sitting next to us, a woman who was dressed very fashionably and could be said to be seductive.
"Mr. Liu Zhihua, welcome to Emei, but let me wait for a long time", the man stretched out his hand, shook hands with me, and then took out a business card, "This is my business card, I hope to be able to become friends with you."
took the business card and looked, "Institute of Ancient Chinese Culture, Luo Wanjun".
I smiled in my heart, "The Institute of Ancient Chinese Culture may be the master of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep."
Sit down together, Luo Wanjun has already ordered the water, "Masters, although today is a meeting, I have already heard of you, this time I asked a few people to come out, I also have something to discuss with you, if a few can be interested in cooperating with me, I will feel very honored."
Then Luo Wanjun asked Xiang Fei their names again, and the atmosphere became a little weird.
I took a sip of tea and said directly, "Say, what do you want to do?" ”
"Haha, Mr. Liu Zhihua is really happy, then I won't be pretentious, to be honest, I came to you this time, mainly to cooperate with you to find the land of immortals."
We had expected this answer, and we were not too surprised, I put the teacup down, "If you want to cooperate with us, how are you going to cooperate?" ”
Luo Wanjun smiled and made a gesture to the woman next to him, "This is my secretary, now she will show the specific content of our cooperation to a few people, if we are not satisfied, we can discuss."
The woman stood up, took out a few papers from her purse, and handed them to us.
After taking the document, I opened it and looked at it roughly, and I was surprised, this is a plan, and the content of the cooperation in it is very detailed.
The purpose is to find the land of immortals, that is, to solve the mystery of ancient Shu, the content of the cooperation is simply put, that is, we are out, the other party pays to help, and provides very important clues.
They will even provide us with the most advanced instruments in the world to explore, and most importantly, they have invited specialized researchers of ancient Shu culture, who are authoritative in this area and can fully understand the ancient Shu script.
"Hehe, it seems that you have enough preparations", I put the plan on the table, "Let's just say it, do you want to find the land of becoming immortals or do you want to get the method of becoming immortals?" And who is the boss behind you? ”
Hearing us say this, Luo Wanjun's face flashed with a cloudy look, "Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing."
"Hehe, we don't want to know too much, but you all know so much about us, know so much about us, so how can we know nothing about you?"
The atmosphere was at an impasse, Luo Wanjun looked at me, was silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "Since this is the case, I will tell you some truths."
"According to the reliable information we have gotten, there is a way to become an immortal in the land of immortals, and we are indeed running errands for people, the origin of the people behind it is very unusual, it can be said that it is a big man in the business and political circles, okay, I can reveal so much, otherwise it is not good for you to know too much, I am thinking about you, I also remind you, although you are a famous yin and yang feng shui master on the road, but in the eyes of some people, you are still like ants, they want you to die how you want to die", in the end, Luo Wanjun was already a little cold.
I glanced at Xiang Fei and saw that his face was also difficult to look at, it was obvious that this was dangerous to us, but we have to admit that what he said was good, in modern society, we onmyoji are just tools used in the eyes of some people, and then again, how could this not be the case in previous dynasties?
Back then, Liu Bowen set the dragon vein for Zhu Yuanzhang and laid the foundation for the country, but in the end, he was not killed by him on a trumped-up charge, and after all, he still couldn't escape the catastrophe of the Mandate of Heaven.
"Are you threatening us?" Xiang Fei said coldly.
One hundred and forty-five of all parties
"Haha, where, just talk casually, don't be angry, I'm still waiting to cooperate with a few of you, rest assured that as long as it succeeds, the benefits to you will be indispensable at that time, now we will start to discuss how to cooperate."
"Well, since you want to cooperate with us, I don't know what kind of clues you have? This has to be something to say, right? I asked with a smile on my face.
"Haha, this is easy to say, since I want to cooperate with you, of course I have to be prepared, tell a few people the truth, we have a broken map of Chengxian Land in our hands, and then put it together with what you have in our hands, it should be complete, and it will not be a problem to find Chengxian Land", Luo Wanjun finished speaking and looked at me.
I 'chuckled' in my heart, the other party's methods are really good, I must have known that I have a few maps of Chengxian Land in my hand, and in this case, I have no need to hide it.
Smiled and nodded, "Yes, we do have a few copies in our hands, but let's see if your copy is true or not, right?" ”
"Of course you can", Luo Wanjun nodded, made a gesture to the secretary next to him, and saw the secretary smile charmingly at us, and took out a folder bag from the leather bag, and took out a piece of broken animal skin paper from it, the same as the animal skin paper in my hand, just at a glance I was sure that this must be a map of the immortal land.
But I still have to make a show, I took the animal skin paper in my hand, looked at it very seriously, and then nodded and gave it to Xiang Fei, Xiang Fei also took it and looked at it carefully, and then gave it to the old blind man, and the old blind man looked at it and gave it to Uncle Liu in Hunan.
"Well, it's true, but that's all you have, and we have a few copies, and it seems that we are still at a loss," the old blind man said suddenly.
"We naturally know this, but a few people should know that the text on this animal skin paper is the oldest ancient Shu script, how many people can decipher and translate it now? Haha, but our people can translate all of them correctly, I wonder if you can do it? ”
As soon as these words came out, we were speechless, this is indeed our hard injury, although Xiang Fei can understand some simple ones, but all the maps are the oldest ancient Shu characters, and they can't understand it at all.
Although I have a few copies in my hand, if I can't read them, it's like holding a few blank pieces of paper, and now Luo Wanjun and their people can fully understand it, which is indeed a very critical role.
Luo Wanjun looked at us, and then said: "Don't worry, the map of Chengxian Land is cracked, and we will sort out a complete modern text version for a few people, and we will definitely not deceive a few people, because we will continue to cooperate with each other, after all, if you want to enter the Chengxian Land, you can't do without the Onmyoji."
I have to say that Luo Wanjun is not unreasonable, the situation is indeed the case now, and it is inevitable for the two sides to cooperate, and each takes what he needs.
"But we only have a map?" Xiang Fei said.
"Ahem, the others are all here", and there is no need for me to hide it now.
"Here is you, Master Liu", several of them were taken aback.
"That's right, when Wang Erwa came to me when he was dying, I took a picture of the one he got, and the Monkey King also gave me a copy, I didn't know it was a map of Chengxian Land at first, but I only learned about it recently."
"Haha, in that case, why don't we find a place to put the map together now, and then I have someone come and crack the translation?"
"Ahem, I didn't have those two copies with me," I said calmly, "I'll have to go back and get them tomorrow."
"In this way, then there will be another trip to Lao Liushi, tomorrow morning I will have someone drive you back directly, which will save time, we are waiting for you to come back here, what do you think?"
"Okay, that's all," I replied with a nod.
"Hehe, since a few of you have agreed, then we will start to cooperate from now on, I hope to cooperate happily with you, I have heard a lot of legends of the onmyoji, and I worship you very much", as he said, Luo Wanjun stood up and shook hands with us one by one, "It's not too early, let's rest early, your food and accommodation here have been covered by us, if you need anything, just say it, we will do it."
When I returned upstairs, the old blind man looked at me with strange eyes, "Master Liu, your baby is hiding quite deeply."
I shook my head, "You'll understand later, it's useless to explain now, I have my own troubles."
Xiang Fei didn't say anything, he also understood why I did this, it can be said that the map of Chengxian Land has a lot to do with it, maybe a lot of secrets are in it.
Go to bed, go back to my hometown tomorrow to get the map, I have asked Wang Ling to accompany my mother tomorrow and they will go to the mountains to visit various scenic spots, Xiang Fei and they will take this opportunity to take a look around, so as to have a general understanding of the topography of Mount Emei.
As soon as dawn was the next day, I got up, Luo Wanjun's car was already waiting for me outside, got in the car and went straight home.
Take a small car to go directly to the high-speed, the time is much shorter, more than an hour to arrive.
When I got home, I took out the map, got in the car and went back, it was about three hours back and forth, and I arrived at Mount Emei, Xiang Fei and they hadn't come back yet, Luo Wanjun asked me to wait, he went to arrange people.
It is estimated that the translation will start in the afternoon, and all of us involved will be present at that time.
Wang Ling and they also went out, and they were idle alone, so I took out the map and studied it, because a few days ago I got a copy from Ghost Qianshou, Xiang Fei also handed it over to me, so now I have three copies in my hand, but one is a photo, but the text of the map on it can be seen clearly, and it has no effect.
Careful research, the more I look at it, the more frightened I become, the map is put together, it is clearly a complete bronze face, and what is even more mysterious is that the entire mountain range of Mount Emei also seems to be in it.
But then I discovered an even more shocking secret, that is, if you look in a different direction, you will find that the map is actually a person flying to the immortals, is this the land of immortals? I stared at a place on the map and began to think.
But there is a key problem that I can't read the text in the map, and it's still hard to get to the heart of the secret when I look at the map.
At this time, the mobile phone rang, and it turned out to be Wang Ling and they came back, so I put away the map and went out to pick them up.
It can be seen that they are having a good time, even the mother looks younger, and several people bought a lot of things, saying that they will go to a special restaurant in Mount Emei to eat at noon.
Of course I agreed, let them rest first, and when Xiang Fei and them came back, they would go to dinner, during which I called Luo Wanjun and asked him to arrange for someone to wait at the hotel, and we would go back after dinner, and everyone on both sides would arrive at that time.
The specialty store is in a farm, we went to a group, found a good location and began to wait for the food, Wang Ling continued to introduce and recommend all kinds of delicious food to me, I, naturally, whatever they want to eat, anyway, the money is paid by others, don't eat for nothing.
As soon as the food was served, I heard someone calling me outside the door, and I turned my head to look through the glass window, and I was a little surprised, it turned out that it was Li Changshu who I met in Mount Emei last time calling me.
Seeing that he seemed to be in a hurry, he probably asked me to have something, so I asked Wang Ling and my mother to eat first, and I went out to have a look.
When I went out, Li Changshu hurriedly walked over and pulled me aside, "You don't want to die?" ”
"What do you mean?" I looked at him quizzically.
"I can't go to the land of immortals", Li Changshu looked at me with a solemn expression.
As soon as he said this, I immediately understood, "So you know everything?" ”
Li Changshu nodded, "Let me tell you the truth, Luo Wanjun has come to me a long time ago, but I didn't agree, and now I have found you again, so I came to persuade you or dispel this idea, that place is not for us people to enter."
As he spoke, he looked around again, "It's not convenient to talk here, come with me."
I didn't think much about it, so I followed Li Changshu into the mountains, and arrived at a remote place, where some tables and chairs for tourists to sit and rest were made of stone, and now that the weather is cold, few tourists come here.
I sat down with Li Changshu, saw him pinching his fingers and calculating something, and said to me for a moment: "A few of you are so auspicious and less auspicious, the hexagram is full of blood, and there is a danger lurking."
I naturally understand what he means, in fact, I don't need him to say it, we all feel it, after all, we are also onmyoji, and the land of immortals was a taboo problem in ancient Shu at that time, the last time in the ancient town of starry sky teleportation, the obsession of returning has already been said, the people of ancient Shu are looking for the land of immortals, but they have not succeeded, and the map has been broken long before them.
We don't know what it will be like inside the immortal land, but it is conceivable that it must be similar to the scene in myths and legends, and there may be unimaginable characters in it, and I don't know how to die when the time comes.
And if you find the land of immortals, it will definitely attract clouds from all directions, and I don't know how many people in the dark will appear, and the demon will definitely come, and there is an important point, there is still an inner ghost hidden around us, in case the inner ghost betrays us at that time, it will be an even more terrible catastrophe.
It's just that now we have to send an arrow on the string, we have no way out, all kinds of reasons are pushing us forward, and now there is a feeling that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes!
"I understand what you mean, but now we have no way back but to go on", I said helplessly, and then told him all the reasons.
After a while, Li Changshu listened to my story, and his expression became helpless: "Maybe this is fate, all this should be over, from Gu Shu to now, I don't know how many people have given their lives for this, I hope you can escape, I will try my best to help you."
Li Changshu said this, and I also expressed my gratitude, his Taoism is not below us, he is good at divination and gossip, and with his help, we have more strength.
After thinking about it, I asked again: "Is Chengxian Land in Mount Emei?" ”
"This....... It's hard to say, no one can really be sure until they find it, but according to my inference, it should be in Mount Emei, presumably you have already obtained the map of becoming immortals, and it will be much easier to find the land of immortals."
Then I asked, is it true that there are so many 'worldly masters' hidden here in Mount Emei all to become immortals?
Li Changshu shook his head, "This is not true, you must know that Mount Emei has been a legendary fairyland since ancient times, and it is much better to come here to live in seclusion and practice than the outside world."
One hundred and forty-five maps of immortals
In the end, I asked him about the ancient Shu people, and Li Changshu admitted frankly that he didn't know much, only that this was a mysterious people, which appeared and disappeared suddenly, and everything was like a flash in the pan, leaving too many mysteries in history.
"They may really be the descendants of immortals, or they may be the descendants of a lost civilization, they have been searching for their origins, but they don't know if they succeeded in the end."
I had to go back to dinner, so I didn't talk about it carefully, left each other on the phone, and said goodbye to Li Changshu and rushed back.
When I went back, Wang Ling and the others had already eaten almost, so I just ate some casually, and I also casually found an excuse to talk about what happened just now.
After eating, they immediately rushed back, Xiang Fei and the others had already returned, Luo Wanjun was also ready, arranged for his mother, and went to the place arranged by Luo Wanjun.
This is a farmhouse built in the mountains, Luo Wanjun led us in, to the basement, there were already several people waiting inside, except for the female secretary, there were several old men who looked like scholars.
When they saw us come in, they all came over warmly to shake hands and say hello to us.
"Inherit the long-standing onmyoji, look up to it for a long time",
"According to ancient legends, the onmyoji pinched his fingers to count yin and yang, walked to see the mountains and rivers, counted the world, counted all the reincarnation, and finally saw it today."
.......
A few people talked nonsense, and we didn't care, "Everyone is here, right?" I asked.
"It's due, you can start now," Luo Wanjun said, leading us to the center of the basement, where there was a large table with a few large lamps hanging above it, illuminating the place.
Then Luo Wanjun introduced us to each other, those old men are the current authoritative experts in the field of ancient culture, and one of the old men surnamed is the study of ancient Shu culture has reached an incredible point, and can already decipher the ancient Shu script.
After a brief introduction, we started, both sides took out the map, put it on the table, and then one of the experts started the puzzle, did a simple repair, and then used an advanced instrument to directly reflect the map on the monitor, zoom in, and then record the text pattern on it.
It has to be said that modern science has developed to a fairly high level, and archaeological research can be carried out more conveniently and simply with the help of some instruments.
We all waited quietly, and this will take some time, and it may not be possible to decipher it.
Luo Wanjun moved a chair, let us sit down and drink tea first, about two hours, only to see a few old men put down the tools in their hands, the expert surnamed Ren said excitedly: "Deciphered, all the words can be translated, but the map is a little incomplete, there is no way the map is a little broken, we can only do this."
We are already quite satisfied with such a result, of course, will not say anything.
This is the expert surnamed Ren and said with a puzzled face: "But ........"
"But what?" Luo Wanjun immediately asked.
"But these words are very strange, even if they are translated, we can't understand them, and this picture seems to be the same object, and it seems to be something else, anyway, we can't understand it."
We have already surrounded it, and the expert Ren showed us the translated text, and when we looked at it, we immediately understood, no wonder they couldn't understand it, this is the oldest Taoist language of Taoism, that is, it has been translated into modern Chinese, but it also has to be understood by Taoist techniques.
Even we had to work a lot to understand, and the deciphered diagram, we looked at it, and it was indeed as expert Ren said, very strange.
It's a place but it's like an object, more like a bronze human face, and it feels weird anyway.
Luo Wanjun looked at us expectantly, "How is it, do you have eyebrows?" ”
"It takes time, these words are ancient Taoist French, you need to understand it slowly, we can't say this map well, try to try it", I replied simply.
"In this case, then there are a few of you, get the results as soon as possible, and we will wait for your news."
"Well, I'll give you news in two or three days, and now we'll go back and study it," Xiang Fei replied.
In the end, we discussed and decided that we would go back to the hotel first, Luo Wanjun and their people would wait here, and as soon as the results came out, they would start to act.
Take the information back, and then we began to study, starting with the text, at this moment we are all very excited, the text on the map of the immortal land, it is very likely to be the text of the ancient mythological era, about the secret of the origin of Taoism, there may be ancient Taoism in it, which is undoubtedly a peerless treasure for us onmyoji.
Closing the door, a few of us immediately put the information on the table and looked at it.
After a while, our faces became difficult to look at, and we could indeed understand these deciphered words, and the content was the ancient Taoism.
And if you want to find and enter the land of immortals, you have to comprehend these ancient Taoisms, but now although we can understand the words, we just don't know what they mean.
Only the previous sentence we can understand, it is from the Yellow Emperor's internal scripture, "The ancients can live a hundred years old in the spring and autumn, and the action is not ......."
Next is the elaboration of the ancient Taoism, the Tao, which pays attention to the all-encompassing images, the heavenly law, nature, the universe, and the universe, and is based on yin and yang, integrating the ten thousand laws of heaven and earth, to achieve the purpose of sublimation, and then transcend the earthly world.
Although we understand the general meaning, we can't understand the key content, which makes us anxious like ants on a hot pot.
The origin of Taoism, any onmyoji who sees it, will be red-eyed, but he can't understand it, it's like seeing a priceless treasure in front of him, but he can only look at it.
"The old man is the reincarnation of the Daluo Immortal, but unfortunately he can't understand this ancient Taoism", at this time, the old blind man did not forget to brag.
At this time, Uncle Liu of Hunan suddenly said: "The ancient Taoism, its morality and the Tao of later generations should be the same, it is better for us to understand word by word, and then straighten it out, and then connect it together to comprehend, maybe we can succeed."
Hearing him say this, our eyes lit up, this is indeed a good way, I was too anxious just now, I didn't expect it.
So a few of us worked together to slowly understand each word, and then recorded it in another text, and it took more than half a day to finally get it all out.
We understood it according to modern Taoist French, and when we comprehended it seriously, everyone's faces became solemn for a moment, and in the end they were already frightened.
This is indeed the ancient Taoism, which can be described as against the sky, which expounds the true meaning of the Tao, explains how to cultivate the Tao, and in the end has mentioned the ultimate goal of cultivation, that is, to fly to the immortals.
Of course, it is not specifically stated that cultivation can really fly to immortals, but judging from the whole content, it seems that it has been vaguely mentioned that the ultimate destination of the Tao is to become an immortal and ascend to another world.
Then it mentioned the law of cultivation, which can be described as broad and profound, containing the number of days, the Tao is actually the pursuit of the great way of heaven, the law, the Tao is completed, and at that time people are just like the myths and legends, but the Tao has been broken and inherited, it seems to involve the taboo of heaven, and a catastrophe suddenly occurred between heaven and earth, and everything related to the Tao has disappeared.
We were shocked, and in the end, we finally mentioned the land of becoming immortals, the original so-called land of becoming immortals, which was a dojo left by the great supernatural powers at that time who rebelled against the creation of the heavens.
Legend has it that the great supernatural person finally flew away and left the method of becoming an immortal here, so there is a saying that he became an immortal.
Later, many great sect figures rushed to rob it, until later a great change in heaven and earth, this place was sealed, and only this map was left to enter, but it was also mentioned that this place was full of dangers, and there were ancient great sect figures who set up a formation to protect it, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed.
As for where the land of immortals is, the map on the map is, as long as you follow the Dao method left on the map, you can enter.
Seeing this, we are all relieved, the land of immortals is not inaccessible, as long as you follow the guidance on the map and cooperate with the Dao Law, you can enter.
"The method is already there, now as long as you find the location on the map, you can enter the land of immortals, this map is ......", Xiang Fei said: "It's a little strange."
The map is indeed strange, which is the feeling of all of us, because the whole map is like a person, a sleeping person, and it seems to be about to fly away, but from the other side, the outline of the bronze figure can be faintly seen.
There are some hints and descriptions on the map, and after studying for a long time, we roughly came to the conclusion that Chengxian Land is in the hinterland of Mount Emei, in the center of the position, taking the Qiankun and creating nature, and is located on the main vein of Mount Emei, and the main vein of Mount Emei is actually a dragon vein, which is the branch of Kunlun in the west.
With the approximate result, I notified Luo Wanjun and asked them to act early tomorrow morning, and they would need their manpower to help at that time.
Coming out of the room, it was almost dark outside, Wang Ling accompanied her mother to play and just came back, seeing that I had come out, she hurriedly grabbed me, "Liu Zhihua, I bought you something, guess what?" ”
"It can't be anything to eat, is it?" I said with a smile, I am in a good mood at the moment, and of course I will not refuse Wang Ling.
"Cut, you think I know how to eat", Wang Ling pouted dissatisfiedly, "They have carefully selected it for you, and they have taken it to Wanyun Temple to ask for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, so you can't seriously guess?" ”
"Eh, please bless the Bodhisattva", I was speechless for a while.
"Hurry up and guess what".
"Well, okay, I guess it's an ornament, a necklace or something."
"No, no".
"That's a string of beads?"
"Hehe, you guessed it, I bought you a bracelet, it's made of beads", Wang Ling said, and reached out and handed me a string of beads, "I don't know what beads are made of, anyway, it feels good, you can wear it and try it, is it suitable?" ”
Such bracelets are very common, especially in tourist areas, and some magic sticks use these things to pit tourists, of course, Wang Ling's intentions, I will not say.
Take it and wear it in your hand, the size is just right, and it is regarded as an ornament.
"Hee-hee, it's just right, my vision is good, right?"
One hundred and forty-seven little girl selling flowers
"Well, it's good, let's go, let's eat the evening first, I will have something to be busy for a few days in the future, you will accompany your parents and my mother to play for a few days, and when I am done with things, I will accompany you."
"What's the matter, how many days are you going to be busy?"
"It's all about work, helping a boss here look at feng shui, but it's a big thing, so it will take a few days."
For dinner, I will eat something at the hotel downstairs, I called Xiang Fei and Uncle Liu from Hunan to come over, and sat at a large table of people, and the atmosphere was not bad.
While eating, Xiang Fei on the other side made a gesture for me to look behind, I turned my head to look, and suddenly I was shocked, the ghost thousand hands and their group also came, but I didn't see the ghost thousand hands, just the two strong men who came to meet us, according to our inference, they should be the people of the ghost thousand hands, and of course they are the ghost thousand hands group.
We didn't move, it didn't seem like they noticed us, after all, there were a lot of people here, and there were so many people sitting here, they seemed to be here to stay, not eat, so we secretly observed.
Ghost Thousand Hands didn't show up, we can't judge what they came here for the time being, but we can guess that they should also come for the immortal land, and now that the storm is everywhere, people from all sides will come one after another, it seems that we have to speed up.
After eating, Xiang Fei and the others went back to the room, of course I had to accompany Wang Ling to go shopping, and my mother and Wang Ling's parents went to watch TV in the room.
The night view of Mount Emei is very beautiful, of course, there are many couples who come out for a stroll, romantic and romantic.
After walking for a while, I saw a barbecue stall in front of me, many people were eating barbecue, and Wang Ling was also clamoring to eat, so we sat down.
As soon as we sat down, we saw a little girl come up with a bouquet of roses in her hand, needless to say, knowing what she was doing.
"Big brother, can you buy a flower for this sister?" The little girl's slightly immature voice sounded.
Although I have never bought them, I have heard many people say that most of these children who sell flowers are instigated by adults, and the flowers are very expensive, which is like blackmail.
Wang Ling obviously knows it, but what girl doesn't want her partner to send flowers to her, especially on a night like this.
Looking at her expectant eyes, I smiled and said, "How much is one?" ”
"One hundred and ten, which means single-mindedness", the little girl's eyes lit up and immediately replied.
I sighed in my heart: "Sure enough, this flower is not ordinarily expensive."
But in such a situation now, even if you know that you will be slaughtered, you have to buy it, which is probably the so-called 'face'.
I bought one and gave it to Wang Ling, and I saw her smile even brighter.
But the little girl said, "Big brother, you are a good person, you will be happy."
"Little sister, what's your name? Where do you live? Wang Ling asked with a smile.
The little girl flashed with a pair of big eyes, "My name is Xiao Nian, and my home is in Mount Emei."
It was then that I noticed that the little girl in front of me had a maturity that did not belong to her age, and was dressed in a simple, typical rural child's dress, and on her feet a pair of embroidered cloth shoes that were now rare.
At this time, the barbecue was ready, Wang Ling pulled Xiao Nian over and took a string of chicken wings to her, "How old is this year?" Don't you go to school, sell flowers here".
Xiao Nian nibbled on chicken wings, "I'm nine years old this year, and my family has no money, so I'm selling flowers here", in the end, Xiao Nian's voice was low.
This kind of thing is very common and common, and we can only sigh.
"How many flowers can you sell in a day?" Wang Ling asked again.
"If you're lucky, if you meet someone like your big brother, you can sell three or four, and if you're unlucky, you can't sell one."
At this time, the temperature of Mount Emei began to drop, Xiao Nian was dressed a little thinly, and her face was red at the moment, and I saw that her hand holding the flower was already trembling.
I couldn't bear it, so I paid for one and gave it to Wang Ling, "Xiao Nian, go home quickly, it's cold now."
"Well, thank you, big brother and big sister", Xiao Nian had a smile on his face again, and ran out in a hurry.
"I hope her life will be better in the future", Wang Ling handed me a string of barbecue, "Oh, the leeks you like to eat".
"Hey, aren't you a yin and yang feng shui master? Should I have given her a look just now to see what her future life will be? ”
"What will happen to her life in the future, who can say clearly, even if we see it, we only have a point to the end, life can not be changed, if I told her her future life, if it is not good, it will not harm her, so that she loses hope in life, rather than leaving her a glimmer of hope, go on strongly."
"Oh, you're right, Master Liu, hee-hee"!
After eating the barbecue, the time is not early, I will take Wang Ling back, and I will officially start the action tomorrow, I don't know what kind of trouble I will encounter?
Mount Emei in the early morning is very beautiful, the sun rises slowly, the sun is sprinkled little by little, shining on the top of the mountain, flashing with crystal light, all of us have gathered, Wang Ling has already arranged it, three or four days is no problem.
There are more than ten of us in our group, five of us, unless Luo Wanjun is on his side and a few experts, the others should seem to be people who are mixed up on the road, it is estimated that they are helpers, and they are also here to do chores.
We already have a rough destination, now we are going straight to the direction of the central hinterland of Mount Emei, although the map is not understood, but it is also roughly sorted out a clue, that should be the location of the immortal land, hidden in the mountains, if you want to find it, we have to rely on ourselves.
As long as you find the location, you can enter with the map and the ancient way.
The hinterland of Mount Emei, has now begun gradually, but the deeper it goes, the more people are still scarce, I have been here last time, and I know that there are some farmers in it, which can be described as real indigenous Sichuan people.
The more you go inside, the more rugged the truth becomes, and in the end there is no road, and the fallen leaves on the ground are too thick to cover the road.
From time to time, monkeys jumped around in the woods, and in a short time, we were already in the hinterland, looking out at the surrounding area of pristine, and the mist in the mountains was hazy, like a fairyland.
Climbing a mountain peak to look at it, Xiang Fei and I began to 'watch the mountain'.
For a moment, both of us showed a confused expression, Emei is beautiful and magnificent, it is the Kunlun Yu vein to the south, as we all know, Kunlun Mountain is where the ancestral vein of China is, is the ancestral root of the dragon vein of the Chinese land, and is the birthplace of Chinese civilization.
But right now, Emei, the dragon vein that goes south from Kunlun, looks a little weird, with dragons and shapeless, heads and tails, as if they have disappeared.
Confused in my heart, I climbed another peak and looked at all directions.
This time, Uncle Liu from Hunan also joined in, and the three of us worked together to watch the mountain, and then deduced.
"I think the terrain of Emei is like a cornucopia, gathering aura from all directions to come and nourish yourself," Xiang Fei said.
Hunan Uncle Liu also nodded, "This should be the rare ancient stars and moon momentum, there are records in ancient books, there was once a world master arranged the Nine Dragons arch beads, presumably the two are the same door, the meaning is almost the same, now we just need to find the center point of this potential, then we can naturally find the true location of the dragon vein, that is, the location of the immortal land."
We all agreed with him, and then went down the mountain and continued to look for the dragon's head.
We have walked to the depths of Mount Emei, which can be called a barren mountain range, but we see the dense mountain forest with cooking smoke, obviously there are farmers here, just like the last time we saw it.
Our group went straight to the past, and when we got closer, we saw that this was a village, all of which were adobe houses, and there were more than a dozen large and small houses, and it was estimated that there were three or four families here.
So we were going to go in and ask the villagers if there was anything strange in the area, after all, these farmers had lived here for generations, and they knew much better than those of us who had just arrived.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw a little girl walking out with a bouquet of roses, and I was surprised on my face.
The little girl obviously recognized me, and hurriedly ran over and greeted me very politely, "Hello big brother, are you here to play?" Why didn't you see the big sister?"
I smiled, "Big sister won't come here today if she has something to do, let's just come here and walk around, Xiao Nian, go sell flowers."
"That big brother is at home",
"Well, goodbye", touched her little head, watched her bounce away, and sighed in her heart, "Although life is not satisfactory, she should have a happy childhood".
When we entered the village, we saw an old man sitting on a wicker chair smoking a shisha (dry tobacco), and we hurriedly walked up, and the old man looked to be in his seventies and eighties, and it was most appropriate to ask him about the situation.
I handed a cigarette up, "Hello old man, we are here for archaeological research, I want to ask you something, is it okay?" ”
The old man smoked a dry cigarette and glanced at me, "Tomb robbers are tomb robbers, why do you still say it so high-sounding?" Young people, it's better to be honest."
I was suddenly embarrassed, and nodded with a reluctant smile, "Yes, old man, you are right", and I was also secretly shocked in my heart, what is the origin of this old man, he can see at a glance that our true purpose is coming?
"What, isn't that weird? Old man, I've lived a handful of years, and I've walked more bridges than yours, and you say you're old archaeologists, let's see which of you is a bit cultured? Especially a few of them", the old man pointed to the few strong men brought by Luo Wanjun, "The flow of qi is not a good kind at first glance."
As soon as these words came out, we felt that there was nothing, and those people were a little uncalm, all of them raised their eyebrows, and they were about to get angry.
Luo Wanjun still knew the general situation, and hurriedly came out to play the round, "What the old man said is that we are not archaeological, or we are here to steal treasures, so I want to ask the old man about some news, I don't know if it is okay?" ”
The old man took a few puffs of dry tobacco, his eyes swept around us a few times, and suddenly said, "You are also here to find the land of immortals, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, we were all taken aback, and we felt that the old man was unfathomable.
"Old man, how do you know?" I stepped forward and lit a cigarette for him.
The old man smoked the cigarette I gave and said slowly: "Of course I know, you are such a big group of people, at first glance, you are from the Tao, come to this place, and don't come to become immortals, what else can you do?" There were several groups of people who came back then, but they didn't find them."
Listening to his words, we immediately understood, dare to love Mount Emei, here has already been the first to climb, but we are relieved when we hear the old man say that he has not found it.
"Old man, tell us who they are?"
One hundred and forty-eight entrances to the Immortal Mountain
"Anyway, there are several batches, I can't remember the specifics, the most impressive is the batch when I was a child, at that time it was still the Republic of China, there were more than ten people in that group, I heard that there were famous figures in the archaeological field at that time, and a few women. There is another group more than 30 years ago, and that group of people left me with the impression of being vicious, and I used to be a guide for them, but in the end it didn't come to fruition."
We immediately understood in our hearts, it is obvious that the group of people in the Republic of China is my grandfather and them, as for the batch more than 30 years ago, it is the group of ghosts and thousands of hands, but they have not found the land of immortals.
"Ghost Qianshou, this old fox, this time he wants to borrow our hands to find the land of immortals, he can come to reap the profits of the fisherman, the last time the broken map of the land of immortals, he must have known, and then deliberately gave it to us", Xiang Fei said.
We all understand that a lot of things have come to this point.
"Old man, you have been a guide for them?"
"Yes, I've been a guide, and those guys are like bandits, if I hadn't been clever, how would I have survived until now," the old man said, smoking a cigarette.
I handed another cigarette, "Old man, how about you guide us now?" ”
"No, no", the old man hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm old now, I can't stand the toss, but I can show you the way, the two groups of them passed from there, you might as well try."
My eyes lit up, and I hurriedly thanked, "Then it's troublesome for the old man."
"It's okay, it's okay, I've lived for such a long time, in fact, I also want to know if there is a fairy land, otherwise it would be a pity that so many people have come and gone, and they haven't found it, and I'm a stranger."
So the old man got up and led the way in front, and went around the village to a valley mouth, pointed to the misty place in front of him, and said, "Keep walking, until you get out of this valley, and then you can see a river, and just go down the river, which I gave them in the past."
Thanks to the old man, we continued on our way, the valley was not very deep, and it was untouched.
"Do you think the old man's words are credible?" Hunan Uncle Liu asked suddenly.
"How?"
"Don't you think it's too easy?"
We were silent for a while, what Uncle Liu said in Hunan was indeed a problem, the scene just now was too coincidental and too easy, and now it is a mixture of dragons and snakes, and it may not be a good thing to keep an extra mind.
"So do we continue like this now, or do we go on a different route?" I asked.
"It doesn't matter, as Xiang Fei said before, some people want to reap the benefits of the fisherman, just because they want us to be able to find the land of immortals smoothly, since this is the case, then we might as well plan and act this drama on."
"Well, that's a good idea, but we'll have to be careful next," Xiang Fei said.
The valley is not long, and it takes ten minutes to walk out, and the fog in front of you is shrouded, and the mountains overlap here, which is even more mysterious.
The sunlight shining through the forest is particularly beautiful.
Sure enough, there was a river in front, the river water was very clear, and the bottom could be seen in some places, we went down the river, and after walking for a while, we saw that the terrain in front of us suddenly changed, the river seemed to be cut off, and the water flow fell sharply, forming a waterfall and falling down.
The waterfall rumbles, deafening, standing on the waterfall, we look at the scene in front of us, and immediately have eyebrows in our hearts, the terrain of this place has changed greatly, there is a tendency to seize the world, and we have realized that we are going to really get close to the goal.
Following the guidance on the map, we looked at the feng shui in all directions, and soon we found a strange place, the mountain dragon veins in front of us appeared, and they twisted and twisted here, as if they were about to take off.
"Gathering the qi of all directions, it is really a big deal", Xiang Fei sighed.
"Yes, the techniques of the predecessors are far beyond our reach, and it is not surprising that this place contains immortals, and the dragon veins are flying here, maybe we can really find the land of immortals."
"How's it going, is there a result?" Luo Wanjun asked impatiently on the side.
I nodded, "It's almost there."
Then we managed to get down the waterfall and came directly to the dragon vein, out of the instinct of the onmyoji, we felt that this place must have a lot of literature, presumably those people also came back then, but they didn't find the land of immortals, and we have a great chance, of course, it is not that we are better than those people before, because we have a complete map, and the clues to open the entrance to the land of immortals are on the map.
"It's here, the head of the dragon vein is here, and the surrounding mountains are arching and guarding, guarding the land of immortals," Xiang Fei said.
I also nodded, Xiang Fei is right, the mountain we are standing on is like a pearl guarded by the mountains, just waiting for the day of Feixian to come.
We put out the prepared information, that is, the map copied from the map, and began to deduce it according to the guidance of the ancient Taoism.
In the end, we are more and more frightened, this is really the creation of rebellion against the heavens, involving taboo issues, and has a great relationship with the ancient mythological era.
To put it simply, Chengxian Land is a dojo left over from the mythological era, and we don't know the reason for it, leaving this map, presumably also wanting future generations to be able to explore it.
Eventually, we settled on a target, and that was the dragon's mouth, just below the hill where we were standing, and there was a slope with a crack in it.
Then we deduced the results according to the yin and yang gossip and walked to the center of the slope.
After walking a few steps according to the technique of Qimen Dunjia, he was surprised to find that a cave suddenly appeared in the crack, and there was a light in the cave, as if there was light shining from the other side.
"Found it", we all breathed rapidly, the entrance to the immortal land, what would it look like inside? The entrance has been found, the real exploration is about to begin, we explained to Luo Wanjun some matters to pay attention to, and when we go in, we must not act without authorization, we must all listen to the command, otherwise we will not be responsible for accidents.
After checking the necessary equipment again, we took the lead and walked in.
And as soon as we walked in, the ghost thousand hands and their people came, but they didn't come in immediately, but waited outside, obviously wanting to wait and see, let us go in first to explore the way.
Walking into the cave, we felt a breath of ancient vicissitudes, and there was a faint smell of flowers in the air.
The soft light shines in from the other end of the cave, making us think we are entering a mythical world.
Now we have understood that this immortal land is hidden in the world, just like the Shangri-La that is said to be outside, it is a hidden place.
Getting closer and closer to the light source, we all breathed nervously, not to mention Luo Wanjun and them, all of our bodies were trembling.
When we got closer, there was a sound of water flowing, and a waterfall appeared in front of us, but this waterfall flowed down from the sky, really like the Milky Way falling for nine days.
When we looked up, we were all stunned, the sky was white, and there was a mountain hanging in the sky, just like the mythological TV, the hanging mountain was like a floating island.
The waterfall is flowing down from the floating mountain, and it takes us a moment to come back to our senses, and when we look around, it is like the ancient flood world, the desolate earth, the bare hills, and the scattered mountain forests, all of which are huge trees.
The cascading waterfall forms a stream on the ground, winding and winding over the ground.
We all swallowed our saliva, this is the land of immortals, it is really like the ancient mythological world, if we didn't see it with our own eyes, we wouldn't believe it at all.
Luo Wanjun and the others also widened their eyes, and their brains were sluggish.
"It turns out that there are really immortals in this world!" Luo Wanjun said, "A few masters, let's hurry up and find the way to become an immortal."
The floating mountain should be the 'fairy mountain' called in the mythical era, and the place where the fairy gods lived, and there is such a 'fairy mountain' in the ancient books that records the mythical era of Mount Emei.
The fairy mountain is floating in the air, at least thousands of meters high, how can we go up?
Our group of people are not cultivators in ancient times, who can fly in the sky, but in the current situation, can there be any other way than flying?
We are so anxious that we scratch our ears and cheeks in the same place, and the immortal land is in front of us, but we can only see but not touch, isn't this a trick on people.
"There should be a way", Xiang Fei said, "The road to the Immortal Mountain should be in this map."
We naturally understand what he means, but we have studied this map thoroughly, and the map inside is the terrain of the entire Chengxian Land, as for the ancient Dao method, although we haven't fully figured it out, we haven't found any mention of the way to enter the immortal mountain.
We tried our best, but we still couldn't find a way to climb the 'Immortal Mountain'.
"No, no, there must be a way to go up, just in this map, we must have missed something", Xiang Fei thought and said.
"Yes, yes, something must have been missed", the old blind man echoed.
Then we re-studied the map, and after a while, Uncle Liu of Hunan said: "The flying immortals mentioned by the ancient sages are to break through the sky, are we also going to break through the sky, maybe the road to the fairy mountain is in front of us?" ”
"Hey, what you say reminds me of this, doesn't this map mention breaking through the sky? The difficult road is in this void? ”
It's not impossible, we can't understand what was in the ancient mythological era, and now we feel that the road is in this void, but how to find it?
"The image of gossip is too empty, yin and yang are two yi, too empty and two yi, true and false have their original meanings, in my opinion, in fact, what we see now is just an illusion, a means to confuse the world, the road is in front of us, just go up boldly", Xiang Fei said.
Suddenly, we also understood that the ancient cultivators pursued the flying immortals, and had already abandoned the world and stayed away from the red dust, and devoted themselves to the Tao.
The road is in front of us, we follow the ancient Taoism on the map to understand everything we see in front of us, and sure enough, the 'fairy mountain' in front of us has disappeared, and a high mountain has appeared.
Magnificent and vicissitudes, exuding an ancient atmosphere, this is a mountain from the age of ancient mythology, Zhong Lingxiu and a body, you can imagine that in that distant era, this mountain stands in the clouds and mist, there are fairies descending from above to the earth.
One hundred and forty-nine Shu Mountain
It's just that now everything no longer exists, the ancient mountains stand here alone, experiencing the wear and tear of the years, and the pavilions and pavilions can still be seen on it, and there are immortals in it? There was a stone path up the hill that led to the top, and we calmed down and walked up.
Dengxian Road, looking at the vicissitudes of life, there is a peculiar feeling, as if I have experienced a lot, looking back, the past has disappeared like a cloud of smoke, leaving a body of vicissitudes.
We all have this feeling, even Luo Wanjun and the others also showed a look of surprise, walking on this stone path, as if they really wanted to leave this earthly flying immortal.
There are still a lot of towering trees on the mountain, and more have died, and the decaying branches are scattered all over the ground, and we all have a feeling that the former fairy land has been worn away by the years?
It took more than an hour for us to come halfway up the mountain, and when we walked here, we had already seen some pavilions and pavilions, and there was a stream flowing down, but it was very quiet and lifeless.
At this moment, we all have a feeling, that is, I don't know how many people have wanted to find the land of immortals throughout the ages, but now it has become a dead place, and everything that used to exist no longer exists, perhaps it really responds to the sentence, "The end of the immortal road is empty"!
The end of the immortal road is empty, and this result will probably surprise everyone.
The pavilions and pavilions in front of him are mostly built on cliffs, and some are even built in the air, which is amazing, this is not like what ordinary mortals can do, maybe it is really the traces left by the immortal gods with boundless mana.
There is a pavilion in front, the square pavilion looks very simple, carved with ancient patterns and words, in the pavilion there is a wooden bench, on which is placed a guqin, suddenly it seems to see a person who is all over the country and the city playing here.
The ethereal sound of the piano went straight to the hearts of the people, but unfortunately I came back to my senses and there was nothing, "The piano is still there, but the person who plays the piano is no longer there, is it to leave, or is it to return to the loess when you are old?" ”
After pausing for a moment, we continued to walk up, and finally reached the top of the mountain, where we could see that it was an open flat land, as if it had been chiseled by someone, and it stood on its own.
Pavilions and pavilions, grass and trees everywhere, really like a fairyland, but too quiet, lifeless, the doors of the houses and buildings are closed, people go to the empty buildings, where did the 'immortals' who lived here in the past go?
When they got here, Luo Wanjun and the others couldn't wait, "A few masters, let's hurry up and find the method of becoming immortals, it must be here."
At this moment, we are also excited, this must be a monument left over from the ancient mythological era, although I dare not be sure that the immortals have lived, but it must also be a holy place for ancient monks.
At this time, Xiang Fei said: "Don't act without permission first, this place must be equipped with Qimen Dunjia technique, these buildings are all laid out according to the yin and yang gossip, and if you take a wrong step, you may fall into a dangerous situation."
"So what are we going to do?" Luo Wanjun couldn't wait to ask.
"Don't worry, let's take a look first".
Obviously, to enter this 'fairy land' must be completed in accordance with the guidance on the map, the key is on this map, and now we understand that the pattern on the place is actually the place of the fairy land, and only by following this pattern will there be no danger, which has been clearly stated inside.
We studied the map again, and we had to crack the Qimen Dunjia arranged outside, and the entire immortal land was arranged according to the yin and yang gossip, and it was impossible to walk around inside.
In a moment, we had a clue, and Xiang Fei and Uncle Liu from Hunan took the lead and walked in.
It seemed that it was only a few tens of meters away, but we walked for more than ten minutes, and cold sweat came out on our foreheads, and we finally saw a stone wall appear in front of us.
"Shushan Immortal Land", Xiang Fei read it out.
We were all taken aback, "Could this be the legendary Shu Mountain?" ”
Since ancient times, there has been a legend about Shu Xian in Sichuan, the legend of Shu Xian is in Emei Mountain, "there are immortals in Shu, it is for Emei", and it was called Shu in ancient times because of this.
This is Shu Mountain, is the legendary fairy land, we are excited, I didn't expect to really come to such a place, according to the map, this is the ancient dojo, someone flew to the immortals, presumably it is Shu Xian.
"There's no danger now, is it?" Luo Wanjun asked.
"There should be none".
Hearing this, Luo Wanjun immediately ordered people to find the 'method of becoming an immortal', they had advanced instruments and could carry out some exploration.
When we arrived at this place, we couldn't calm down when we were self-heating, and we wanted to get the inheritance of the ancient Taoism, which was something that the Onmyoji dreamed of now.
We walked towards a large hall, which was in the center of the building, built on a high platform, and it was a magnificent place, and it was an important place at first glance.
But at that moment, I suddenly heard the sound of a piano, which seemed to be all around me.
I asked Xiang Fei if they had heard, and they all said they hadn't.
But I really heard it, and my heart immediately became nervous, wondering if something strange was going to happen.
The sound of the piano is ethereal, the more I listen to it, the more I feel hairy, this piano is so familiar, isn't it the same as what I heard in the tomb of Shu?
The sound of the piano followed me like a ghost, I couldn't escape, my face was a little pale, I looked around, and I didn't find anything unusual.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiang Fei asked.
"It's okay, I guess I misheard," I whispered.
"Let's go, go in and have a look," said Uncle Liu from Hunan.
Luo Wanjun had already entered, and the door was pushed open, although I don't know how many years it had been empty, but the inside was still spotless, as if someone was cleaning it regularly.
In the main hall, the typical ancient Taoist style is arranged, and the old blind man can't sit still when he arrives here, and begins to look around.
There is a portrait directly above the main hall, and inside is an old man with fairy wind bones, walking in the air with clouds and mist.
Xiang Fei and I were surprised, isn't this exactly the same person in the mural we saw in the nine-fold burial in the Qiang area last time?
"This should be the portrait of the patriarch of the Shushan Kaipai, that is, the legendary Baimei Taoist in later generations, it is said that he really flew away."
We suddenly realized that the map said that this was an ancient dojo, and someone flew here to go to the immortals, and it should be said that it was the Baimei Daoist.
Baimei Taoist, according to the records in ancient books, should be the same name as the three statues of Taoism, but they appeared earlier than the three statues, and they can even be said to be one of the earliest founders of Taoism.
The mythical and legendary Baimei Daoist really exists, maybe he has been over-deified, but one thing is certain, that is, there was indeed the existence of Shushan, just here in Mount Emei.
But we soon found that the main hall had already been emptied, leaving a shelf empty, and the vast hall seemed very empty, and footsteps could be heard when we walked in it.
But it is not difficult to find that in the past glory here, the pillars in the main hall have to be hugged with both hands, and the walls are golden, making the golden light dazzling.
We searched carefully, but we found nothing but the portrait in the center.
Looking at each other, don't say that the Chengxian Land we worked so hard to find is no longer of any value, only the house is still here, and the valuable things have been moved.
"Immortal Banban, we shouldn't be running for nothing, right?" The old blind man muttered, then walked over to the portrait in the center and began to study it.
Suddenly, the old blind man fell back violently, and his face was ugly, as if he had seen a ghost.
"I....... Am I not mistaken? He's smiling at me? The old blind man stammered.
As soon as the old blind man said this, we were also interested, and there was such a portrait left in the hall, isn't there some mystery that can't be done? Several of us came over, the portrait is very realistic, as if it was printed by a real person, although it has gone through I don't know how many years, but there is still no damage in the slightest, simple and natural.
Looking closely, we didn't find anything abnormal, we all wanted to say that the old blind man was dizzy, but suddenly my eyes flickered, and I clearly saw the white-eyed Taoist in the portrait smiling at me, as if he was about to come out, like a fairy coming from the clouds.
