Chapter 275: Immortal Elixir
Laoshan is located in the remote Haibin, deep rock valley, for hundreds of years by some monks, Taoists called "Cave Immortal House".
Legend has it that there are not only immortals living in Laoshan Mountain, but also the elixir that can "live forever".
Many famous scholars, Taoists, literati and writers have been to Laoshan and come to practice and visit.
This Laoshan mountain is winding and twisting, the mountains are steep and towering, the strange stones are about to move, the wall is cut slowly, the ancient cypress and pine are older than the old, the bamboo and the strange flowers are contending, the mountains and the sea are connected, the clouds are flying and the clouds are floating, it does have its unique beauty.
Therefore, there is a record in "Qi Ji": although Mount Tai is high in clouds, it is not as good as Donghai Lao.
Laoshan is a hundred miles in circumference, there are many Taoist palaces, there are more than hundreds of years of Taoist temples, it is said that Laoshan has nine palaces, eight views and seventy-two nunnery.
But in fact, there are not only nine palaces and eight views in Laoshan Taoist temples, but also many small Taoist temples in front of the peaks and behind the cliffs, and beside the mountain passes.
Laoshan Taoist people often say: "Laoshan Taoist view of the stars in the sky, the seven truths descend to the authentic sect, if you ask who is the head of the palace, the old monarch peak under the Taiqing Palace."
This Taiqing Palace is the head of the Laoshan Palace, and the Shangqing Palace and the Taiping Palace are the same as the dojo built by Song Taizu for the real people of Huagai.
Taiqing Palace is the temple with the longest history, the best area, the largest scale, the most Taoist people and the most profound influence in the Taoist temple in Laoshan Mountain, located under the Laojun Peak of Laoshan Mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing the sea on one side, and the scenery is beautiful.
It stands to reason that such a big name of this Taiqing Palace should definitely be the most beautiful cub on Laoshan Mountain, but in fact, the Taoist temple with the most incense on Laoshan Mountain today is an unknown new view on the cliff - Baiyun Temple.
The morning sun shines through the mist and sprinkles in front of the quaint and solemn Baiyun Temple.
The sky was only bright, but the small square in front of the gate was already bustling and lively.
The soft sedan cars of carriages and horses are arranged in an endless stream, like a colorful dragon, extending from the trail in front of the view to the corner of the mountain road in the distance, almost paving the entire ground to the brim.
All kinds of horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts are parked on both sides of the road, and the soft sedan chairs are even more varied, but just look at the delicate carvings and bright lacquer colors on the vehicles shining in the morning light, and the gorgeous gold-topped embroidered drapery decoration on the sedan chair, you can know that the believers here are all from rich and noble families, and there is no poor ghost.
Even the few believers who came here on foot, looking at the clothes, were not ordinary people's coarse cloth clothes.
It's just that these people are described as withered, thin, and with deep-set eye sockets, and they are all rich people, but they seem to be malnourished.
They repeatedly wandered and paced in front of the gate, anxiously waiting for the moment when the temple door opened, their expressions eager and nervous, but none of them chanted and prayed, and there was no quiet and inactive appearance of a cultivator, but a restless, anxious and anxious manner.
When the crowd gathers, there will inevitably be some friction, and this group of believers will blow up at the touch of it like an aggressive rooster, and in a short time there will have been three or four conflicts.
If it weren't for the fact that this was an immortal house, I was afraid that this place would have already been bleeding.
Suddenly, a member of the staff suddenly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over.
The people around immediately made an uproar and avoided one after another, and shouted at the same time:
"Elixir!"
"Give him the elixir!"
While hurrying to rescue his master, the subordinate of the believer's family smiled bitterly and said to the surrounding people:
"Ladies and gentlemen, my master's elixir has been exhausted, and I would like to ask which benevolent man to come out first to respond to the emergency, and when my master asks for it from the immortal chief, he will immediately return the original thing."
The surrounding gentry originally gathered around and looked at this side nervously, but as soon as they heard that they were going to borrow the "elixir", they immediately changed their faces, looked indifferent, tilted their heads to the side, and ignored them.
The subordinate knelt down and kowtowed in front of everyone, begging bitterly, but to no avail, seeing that the fallen believers were getting worse and worse, the gate of Baiyun Temple, Huo Ran opened.
Everyone didn't care about anything else, and immediately ran to the door of the Baiyun Temple in small steps, and shouted at the Taoist boy who opened the door.
"Immortal Chief, I brought real money and silver, give me the elixir first!"
"Immortal Chief, I brought the title deed at home, just to exchange a few more elixirs and come back!"
"Immortal Chief, the little girl is twenty-eight years old, just in Fanghua, she is willing to send to the Taoist Temple and serve the Immortal Chief, I just ask the Immortal Elder to be kind and give me a few more elixirs!"
The man also hurriedly got up and followed the crowd inside, but he didn't dare to push with these nobles, so he had to shout desperately:
"Immortal Chief, my master is dying, ask Immortal Elder to give him the elixir to save his life!"
That Dao Tong was arrogant, ignored him, just waved his hand, and a few powerful men came up behind him, stopping at the door to charge.
Those rich gentry were anxious to give away all the wealth they were carrying, and then the boy registered and made a record, and then turned sideways to let people pass.
The man also took a small box of silver from the car and entered the Baiyun Temple smoothly, while those who had no wealth in their families were stopped at the door.
These people fell to their knees, pleading bitterly, in all sorts of ways.
"Immortal Chief, there is really nothing in my family that can be sold, so you can be gracious and give me another elixir......"
"Immortal Chief, I was kicked out of the house by the son of the family, you let me be happy first, I will go down the mountain to the Yamen to complain, beat the disobedient beast to death, and take back the family property, and I will send you double when the time comes......"
"Immortal Chief, I haven't spent much money in the Taoist Temple in the past few years, you see our past relationship, give me a chance, I will pull my in-laws over when I turn around, his family has money......"
The child's skin smiled and said:
"Since several families don't take advantage of it for a while, you might as well come back next time."
"The friendship between us is friendship, but this elixir is not easy to refine, and the matter of the empty glove white wolf is not possible!"
"As for bringing other people over, whether those people can see the face of the elixir depends on whether my family master agrees, and this elixir is not something that everyone is qualified to enjoy."
These outsiders, who couldn't get the elixir, faintly felt addicted, and suddenly became irritable, and one of them jumped up, stared at the boy with red eyes, and shouted through gritted teeth:
"You won't give it, will you?"
"Then we'll fight with you today!"
"Even if we burn your temple, we have to see the elixir today!"
At his instigation, several other people also jumped up, rolled up their arms and sleeves and approached.
That Dao Tong had seen this kind of scene many times, and immediately smiled disdainfully, hooked his fingers back, and several big men behind him stepped forward with a cruel smile, and flashed their thick arms out, which were thicker than the thighs of those outsiders.
When the officers saw this, they immediately withered, and had to kneel down again and plead.
This time, the boy was not easy to speak, so he just flicked his sleeves and scolded in a low voice:
"Poor ghosts, don't think about the elixir!"
"Come on, throw this group of poor ghosts out to Dao Ye!"
Those big men immediately came up, like chickens, and carried these outsiders, who had become poor eggs, to the side of the mountain road, threw them down, and made up for them.
The men were unsteady on their feet, and they rolled down the steep mountain path.
But it was said that after Ghost Li got the treasure in Songshan, he became even more hot, thinking of going to various famous mountains and rivers and caves to visit the door.
This Laoshan Taoist priest is famous, and Li Ghost has also heard it for a long time, so he traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers.
As soon as they arrived at the foot of Laoshan Mountain on this day, several people rolled down the mountain, and the first unlucky man hit the Hot Wheels headlong, and immediately broke his head and fell to the ground.
Ghost Li looked down at the guy who was already unconscious, and immediately pointed his hand at the remaining few people, and shouted:
"Touch porcelain!"
"He's definitely touching porcelain, isn't he?"
"There are still people who dare to touch porcelain in front of grandpa's car, it's really kind of enough!"
In fact, Ghost Li had already seen that the few people who rolled down the mountain had already fallen, and they didn't know how many injuries they had, and they didn't know how many bones were broken.
However, he didn't care about the fact that these people didn't dress like the poor, and he didn't care about their lives or deaths, and most of them were dog-eat-dog messes.
After he laughed for a while, he wanted to bypass a few people and go up the mountain, but he didn't want that there was a seriously injured and dying among them, and at the last moment of his life he finally came to his senses again, and when he saw that Li Ghost was going up the mountain, he thought that he was also lured by the "elixir", so he panted and whispered:
"Wu Na man, don't be fooled!"
"The 'elixir' of the Baiyun Temple is a highly poisonous thing, and you can't take it off if you get it."
"Look at the few of us present, they were originally all gentry and wealthy businessmen, with a vast family business and a group of wives and concubines, but they were tempted by the thief of Huang Liangzi and fell into the poison of the 'elixir', and everything was involuntarily."
"Now that our family has been ruined and our wives have been separated, you must not follow in our footsteps."
As the so-called man is about to die, his words are also good, this rich gentleman is willing to do anything for the "elixir", but now there are many bones broken all over his body, internal organs are bleeding profusely, and the blood foam is gushing out of his mouth, and he is about to stop living, but he has done good deeds.
He was about to die, and he was so angry that if it weren't for Ghost Li's good hearing, he wouldn't be able to hear what he was saying at all.
"Tsk!"
"What a mouthful!"
Hearing this person's words, Ghost Li immediately stopped his steps up the mountain and turned his head to look at this person.
Ghost Li is not a good thing, but if someone treats him well, he will definitely reciprocate.
The man's kindness before he died saved his own life.
With a flick of his fingers, Ghost Li divided the precious cyan luck and saved this person's life.
Although cyan luck can be artificially created nowadays, not everyone is eligible to enjoy it.
The man coughed a few times and vomited out the blood stasis in his lungs, although the bones still needed to be reset by a doctor, but his life was no longer in danger.
Feeling the gradual improvement of the injuries in his body, how did the member not know that he had met a real master, and hurriedly struggled to get up and knelt down, kowtowing to Ghost Li to thank him.
"Old man Lin Changhua, thank you for the great grace of the immortal chief for saving his life!"
"Dare to ask the immortal Changgao's surname, the old man will give a tablet for Engong at home, and he will definitely chant and pray for Engong every night in the future."
Ghost Li didn't sign up either, but waved his hand impatiently.
"That's it, a certain family is just in a good mood for saving you, and I don't need your thanks."
"Tell me, what's going on with the elixir?"
"But this Laoshan Taoist priest made a treasure?"
When the forester heard this, he was sad, and kowtowed:
"Engong don't believe those rumors, it's not an elixir at all, it's a poison pill!"
"The old man believed this rumor, was deceived by his friends, and went to the Baiyun Temple on this mountain to ask for the elixir."
"When the elixir was first taken, it made people flutter, as if they had really entered the fairyland, but after a long time, I found that this elixir could not leave for a day."
"When I first found out about this, I went to the Yamen to report to the officials, but now that the war in Laizhou is raging, the officials in the Yamen are changing, today it is the Great Song Dynasty, tomorrow it is the Liangshan thief, and the day after tomorrow it will be taken back by the Great Song Dynasty."
"Song Guan only collects taxes when he takes office, and the Liangshan thieves only want to divide the land when he takes office, who cares about this little Baiyun Temple?"
"Originally, I heard that the Liang Mountain thieves wanted to engage in some kind of True Monarch Sect and demolish all the Taoist temples on this mountain, but then there was no sound, and it was obviously unreliable."
When Ghost Li heard this, his face was a little unbearable.
This was all done by the "temporary workers" who came to take refuge in various places, and it had nothing to do with Liangshan, but after all, he had the name of Liangshan, and if people wanted to scold, he could only bear it.
The forester continued:
"At that time, I was still sane, so I went to the Taiqing Palace to ask for help, wanting the immortal chief in the palace to help me detoxify, but after drinking the talisman water I begged for, it was useless, and it was still unbearable."
"Later, I learned that the thief of the Baiyun Temple was quite good at doing things, and took most of the silver taels he earned to dot up and down."
"Not only the Taoist priests in the Taiqing Palace, but also the Taoist priests in the Shangqing Palace, the Taiping Palace, and even the Nine Palaces, Eight Temples and Seventy-two Nunnery, have also been dotted, and no one is in charge of us."
"Later, the toxicity became more and more serious, and I only wanted to take the pill, and I didn't want to ask for help anymore."
Speaking of this, the poison in his body was about to flare up again, making his body twitch again.
"Immortal save me......"
The forester trembled and stretched out his hands to Ghost Li for help, and looked over with anticipation in his eyes.
"Tsk......"
Ghost Li took his tongue and pinched his teeth, some of which were big.
He knew what this thing was as soon as he heard it, and he knew that there was no solution to this thing, and there was no cure!
Especially the most haunting thing about this thing is the addiction!
Even if someone succeeds in the drug rehabilitation center in the future, he can't be allowed to touch this thing again, otherwise he will definitely fall into the abyss again!
This guy who just got back...... It's gone!
"You poison is incurable, and I can't save you!"
Ghost Li directly announced the result to the forester, and the forester's eyes immediately darkened, but after a while, the forester shouted eagerly:
"The Immortal Elder has never seen this thing, that's why he said this."
"I can take the Immortal Chief to the White Cloud Temple, and the Immortal Chief will definitely be able to find a cure if he buys one and tastes it."
"As long as I take one, the toxicity in my body can be suppressed for a day, and the immortal can slowly study the antidote."
What a stupid approach!
After hearing this, Ghost Li frowned, and was about to refute his words, but suddenly saw the forester's eyes flickering, and suddenly realized that this forester didn't know this method, but deliberately wanted to pull him into the water!
Since there is no cure for this poison, then simply continue to take the pill!
"Thief Bird!"
"I was kind enough to save you, but you actually came to harm me!"
Ghost Li was suddenly furious, jumped up, and beat the Zhongshan wolf into meat sauce with one punch, and the blood and flesh were smeared on the ground.
Sure enough, once this person touches gambling and drugs, he is no longer human!
Li Ghost glanced at the remaining few people, and no longer cared about their lives or deaths, and directly stepped on the hot wheels and went up the mountain to find the bad luck of the White Cloud Temple.
This Baiyun Temple is not a great avenue view, and the location is not a feng shui treasure on the top of the mountain, but it is to find a spacious and flat ground near the mountain road, and then set up a Taoist temple and enclose it with a wall.
This Taoist temple is all based on the "elixir" to fool people, and it is aimed at rich local gentry and merchants, and it does not accept ordinary pilgrims at all, and it is not in competition with the rest of the nine palaces, eight views and seventy-two nunnery, and most of the money earned is divided, so it is here to live and make a fortune.
When Ghost Li arrived at the door, he strode inside, and the boy hurriedly came to stop him.
"Oops...... Who are you? Is this the place for you? ”
A group of big men behind him puffed out the muscles on their arms, and then looked up at Ghost Li's fierce face and steel-like torso, and they were a little stunned, and they didn't dare to play tricks.
Just as he was hesitating, he saw that Li Gui grabbed the child's head, pressed the back with the other hand, and used his arms to exert his strength, only to hear the crisp sound of the bones breaking mixed with the dull sound of flesh and blood grinding, and then the head and spine of the boy were pulled out, and the blood gushed out and splashed on the bluestone slab in the Taoist temple.
"Ah......h
The boy howled miserably, his voice hoarse and sharp, but he was not dead for a while.
His exposed spine was blown by the cool breeze, and every breeze turned into thousands of invisible knives, piercing into the gaps in his exposed vertebrae where the nerve endings were still sensitive, causing violent convulsions, ripples of pain along the damaged nerve fibers to the center at the speed of light, making him feel as if he was in an abyss of hellfire and ice.
His face was severely spasmed from excruciating pain, his features crumbled together, and his expression distorted beyond recognition.
His eyelids were completely unable to close, his pupils dilated like black holes, and he had lost the ability to focus, and could only stare blankly ahead, reflecting his endless despair, extreme panic, and helplessness.
When multiple emotions are intertwined, it is like falling into hell on earth.
"Very good expression!"
"If you dare to touch poison, you deserve to go to hell!"
Li Ghost was very satisfied with his work, so he was reluctant to throw it away, but carried it in his hand and continued to stride forward.
The thugs were frightened, screaming and turning their heads to run, only to be cut into pieces by the invisible wind blades flying behind them, scattered all over the ground.
Li Ghost stepped on the muddy bloody road and crossed the front hall, and saw a small flower garden on each side of the road in the backyard, and the same strange flower was blooming in the morning light in the flower garden.
These flowers are as colorful as fire, white as snow, and pink as the sun, and the delicate petals still have crystal dewdrops, which shimmer in the sun and show a unique charm.
At first glance, these flowers resemble poppies, each of them is slim, the slender stems hold up the gorgeous flowers in full bloom, the petals are in full bloom, the layers are distinct, and there is a faint fragrance wafting in the air, which makes people feel refreshed and forget the troubles of the world.
But Ghost Li had already made up his mind in his heart, and he recognized it at a glance that this flowery-looking, bewitching, fragrant and charming plant was simply a poppy!
As soon as Ghost Li flipped his hand, a fire dragon jumped out and fell straight into the flower garden, igniting the poisonous poison on fire.
Originally, the flowers had a lot of water content and were not easy to burn, but the fire dragon under the urging of Ghost Li was not an ordinary flame.
The flame was like a greedy beast, devouring every inch of soil, every leaf, and every branch in the flower garden in an instant.
The flowers, which had been blooming with attractive colors, quickly withered in the flames, curled up in the raging flames, and quickly turned to ashes.
This is the lifeblood of the Taoist temple, and there are people who pay attention to it all the time, and when they saw that this place was on fire, someone immediately rushed out of the nearby house and shouted for help.
"It's on fire, come and put out the fire......"
"The flower field is on fire......"
Ghost Li had the intention to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and with another urge, several fire dragons were sent out, shooting out in all directions.
The already raging fire became more and more violent, and suddenly expanded outward, encompassing the surrounding buildings.
At this time, in the guest room behind the Baiyun Temple, all the pilgrims were serving Dan.
They were lying on the couch, using unique smoking guns, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, and looking at it from a distance, they didn't know that they thought it was also on fire here!
Hearing someone shouting outside, the group of people were half-awake, pointing to the green smoke in the house and laughing, and none of them fled out.
And those servants who served beside them did not dare to stay, and dragged their own members out of the house.
Ghost Li stood next to the flower garden, and when he came over, he killed one by one, simply and neatly, and when he killed someone, he threw the body directly into the fire, and burned it directly.
The servants did not dare to step forward, and fled back in a panic, trying to escape through the back door, but found that the courtyard behind them was already burning with flames.
The way to go has long been cut off, and they have no way to escape.
"A good man spares his life!"
"I have 10,000 taels of silver, and I am willing to sacrifice it to the heroes, and I only ask the heroes to show mercy!"
A blue-crowned feather coat was covered with cold sweat, hiding far away, shouting and begging for mercy in a loud voice.
As soon as Ghost Li saw it, he knew that this item was Huang Liangzi, the owner of the temple, and with a little effort, he released a fire dragon to turn Huang Liangzi into charcoal.
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and when the Baiyun Temple was about to burn down the buildings with people, suddenly there was a thunderclap and a heavy rain poured down, and the fire was extinguished.
Li Ghost looked up, only a few zhang in circumference of this dark cloud, just floating above this white cloud temple, and a little further out even the ground was not a little wet, and immediately knew that someone was making trouble.
Ghost Li was suddenly furious, and when he raised his hand, a gust of wind blew away the dark cloud on his head, and then scolded in the direction of the Taiqing Palace on the mountain:
"Thief Bird!"
"Laoshan thief, get out and die!"
Thank you for the continuous reward of the disciple "Book Friend 20210509162042966642365"!
