"By the way, seniors, please come in, let's talk slowly. ”

This conversation was energetic, but he was still standing by the door, Zhang Xian hurriedly invited into the Taoist temple, sat down under the eaves, took out the tea sent by the lotus teaching, and made a pot of tea.

The quality of this tea is excellent, the fragrance is pleasant, refreshing, and the spirit is lifted when you drink it, the tea he used to drink in the Guogong Mansion is almost this level, and the price of this tea is more expensive than gold.

But I didn't know the way before, I drank it casually, but now I have achieved success in practice, and my six senses are subtle, and then I drink this tea, and I immediately feel that it is mysterious, which contains the qi of the wood spirit, moistens the qi and blood, nourishes the spirit, and if you take it for a long time, it is very beneficial to practice.

After the tea, Zhang Xian asked some details: "Senior, I don't know how many people are needed to build this Liuhe underground palace, what is the construction period, and what is the amount of work?"

Meng Zhangmo said: "It depends on how large the Immortal Commander needs to build, it can be as big as a palace or as small as a house. ”

Zhang Xian thought about it, in the future, he would always live in the underground palace to practice, of course, the bigger the better, but the amount of work is too large, and the manpower and material resources consumed are definitely not a small number, and the construction period is too long, delaying the time for him to hold the Dan, only a moderate amount of time.

He said: "Probably on the scale of this temple, craftsmen can come more, try to hurry up the construction period, everything can be simple, no complicated decoration and carving." ”

Meng Zhangmo looked at the surrounding walls, calculated the area slightly, and said: "Sixty people work, thirty people transport stones, and thirty people dig the ground, and it can be completed in one month." ”

To build a cemetery, all of them are made of stone, and there are no embellishments or carvings, and this project is quite simple.

Zhang Xian nodded, a month is not bad, and asked: "I don't know where to buy the stone, in addition, I also want to build six coffins, just use ordinary wood, with the doubt of the Liuhe underground palace." ”

The coffin is a large coffin on the outside of the coffin, with two layers of protection.

Meng Zhangmo said: "There are quarries in the town, and the labor can also be invited in the town, we are working in this area, we are quite familiar, and we can help the immortal chief to do it." ”

"As for building the coffin, the coffin is equivalent to the amount of work of two coffins, if you want to arrange the mechanism in the coffin, the process is more complicated, do not do embellishment, carving and polishing, etc., six coffins also need at least one and a half months. ”

"The wood of the coffin, it is not suitable to cut down new wood, the new wood is too wet and easy to deform, you can buy the processed old wood directly in the city, please pick and transport it. ”

"The immortal chief wants to live in the tomb to practice, sleep in the coffin, can not use general soil paint, need to use the secret resin to smear the wood, our ancestors just have a secret dragon blood lipids, with the resin of the dragon's blood tree, the living use dragon blood, blood circulation and stasis, strengthen the muscles and bones, through the meridians, the dead use dragon blood, can raise the corpse, the body is immortal. ”

"But this dragon's blood lipids, you need to use the dragon's blood tree, this tree is extremely rare, I see next to the Taoist temple, there is a blood vine, the blood vine and the dragon's blood tree are the same species, you can take resin instead. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xian couldn't help but be overjoyed, and looked at the blood vine next to him, which just came in handy, this sleeping coffin, it turned out that there was so much exquisiteness, he was very interested in listening to it, and Meng Zhangmo also mentioned raising corpses!

He asked, "Senior, you also know necroscopy?"

"Well, this ......" Meng Zhangmo's tone hesitated, and secretly said that he had leaked his mouth, but he just mentioned it casually, and he didn't expect Zhang Xian to be so careful, and he immediately found out, no wonder he became an immortal at a young age, and he was really not an ordinary mortal.

Zhang Xian knew Meng Zhangmo's concerns, and said: "Seniors don't have to be suspicious, I also know some necrosis techniques, if the seniors don't hesitate to teach, we can communicate more." ”

"The immortal chief is polite, the old man only knows a little about the skin. Meng Zhangmo said, "Our line of work, more or less understanding, is passed down from our ancestors." ”

The words have already been talked about here, Zhang Xian did not shy away from his intentions, and said: "Your predecessor, your teacher, is it from the Tiangong faction, right?"

Meng Zhangmo knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to nod and admit: "We are indeed the Tiangong faction, but the Tiangong faction is also divided into many branches, our branch belongs to the Yin Mansion faction, that is, the set of building the Yin Mansion for the dead, because of causing trouble, has been hiding in Tibet, and has not been in contact with other factions for many years, but I don't want to be recognized by the immortal chief." ”

"It's also a coincidence. Zhang Xian smiled indifferently, immediately thought about it, and said: "I can't hide it, I am very curious about necrosis, Kanyu, physiognomy, burial methods, etc., if the seniors do not give up, I am willing to perform the disciple ceremony and ask the seniors for advice or two." ”

"This ...... How this makes. Meng Zhangmo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhang Xian to be so quick to speak, and bluntly said that he wanted to study with a teacher.

Zhang Xian said: "I was originally traveling and practicing, traveling around, looking for masters, asking for immortals, just because I stepped into Baodan, I needed to retreat and practice, and I came back here, Meng Zhangmo Ruo was willing to teach me, this is also a good fate, the number of fate, the encounter is fate, today Meng Zhangmo taught me, maybe the next day, Meng Zhangmo is in trouble, I can also help." ”

"This ......" Meng Zhangmo hesitated, thinking quickly in his heart, this word is indeed true.

Their faction, pay attention to the fortune of fate, can meet an immortal, can also be said to be their chance, if there is a difficulty in the future, can get the immortal to save first, this is of course a good thing.

At that time, their ancestors, that is, Meng Zhangmo's father and grandfather and others, while being respected by Emperor Qian's high-ranking officials Houlu, were forced to build a palace mausoleum for Emperor Qian, after the fact, Emperor Qiandi ordered to exterminate the mouth, not only all the people in the mausoleum were buried alive, but also all the relatives and friends of the craftsmen were not spared, all the three clans were exterminated, and thousands of people were implicated.

Meng Zhangmo was still a teenager at that time, and he fled with several uncles and his family, but an immortal came to the rescue.

The immortal did not reveal his identity and name, only said that he knew his ancestor, received a letter for help, and rushed to the rescue, if it wasn't for the immortal, their branch would be destroyed.

Now, decades have passed, several uncles have passed away, and Meng Zhangmo is also over sixty years old and has become the palm ink master of their branch.

Meng Zhangmo thought in his heart, it's okay, he can't live long at his age, for the layout of future generations, leave a glimmer of opportunity, if he encounters disasters in the future, he can also have a glimmer of life.

What's more, this immortal holding the Dan is profound, and his mana is strong, if he angers the immortal and persecutes him with strong means, they will not have the strength to fight back.

Meng Zhangmo said: "The immortal chief wants to ask for learning, but the old man does not dare to rely on the old man to sell the old master, it is better to do this, I burn incense to the ancestors, and accept the immortal chief as a registered disciple on behalf of the ancestors, we are commensurate with each other, I pass on the law on behalf of the ancestors, what does the immortal chief think?"

When Zhang Xian heard this, he was overjoyed, which meant that he and Meng Zhangmo were commensurate with brothers, but it didn't matter what they were called, the point was that they could learn the subtleties of this school.

"Everything is arranged by the seniors, senior brother, please accept my worship. ”

Zhang Xian immediately changed his name to Senior Brother, bowed for a bow, and the matter was done.

Meng Zhangmo also hurriedly bowed, changed his name to junior brother, and said: "Senior brother doesn't need to be polite, junior brother is an immortal, no formal etiquette, apprenticeship ceremony can be omitted, there is one more thing, I hope the junior brother can agree, we are still called ordinary, don't let outsiders know about it." ”

"yes, I see. Zhang Xian nodded, understanding this intention, Meng Zhangmo's faction is easy to cause trouble, and he doesn't want outsiders to know their details, and their relationship can only be in private, Zhang Xian thinks this is also very good, after all, he often makes mistakes, and he doesn't want to implicate others.

Meng Zhangmo said to the middle-aged man next to him: "Bai Yang, come and see Uncle Shi." ”

Meng Baiyang reacted, and immediately understood the intention of the second uncle, and hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed, and bowed to the juniors of the master's door: "Senior Meng Boyang, meet the senior uncle." ”

"Teachers and nephews don't have to be polite. Zhang Xian also bowed, motioned to get up, and after accepting this kowtow, he became an elder.

"Immortal Chief, it's still early at this time, let's go to the mountain to check on the nearby Kanyu, find a feng shui place, and start building the underground palace as soon as possible. ”

Meng Zhangmo called back the immortal chief again, in fact, this named disciple is just taking a form, forming this good fate, and leaving everyone with one more way back.

Saying that, Zhang Xian led the way out of the Taoist temple and went to the back mountain, and he was also curious about how to observe feng shui.

I saw Meng Zhangmo take out a compass from the cloth bag behind him, and the compass was marked with the number of symbols, arranged in a circle, namely: one yuan, two instruments, three talents, four elephants, five elements, six combinations, seven stars, eight trigrams, nine palaces, ten heavenly stems, and twelve earthly branches.

The arrangement of these symbols gives the impression of being full of ancient mysteries, and a thin needle is inserted in the middle of the compass to observe the angle at which the sun shines on the shadows.

Then he took out a bronze mirror, which refracted the sunlight and matched the angle of the compass, and the light shone out, through the woods, as if measuring something.

All the way to the mountain, Meng Zhangmo was also concentrating on measuring, Zhang Xian didn't bother, just watched carefully.

After walking around the mountain a few times, until he came to the highest place on the top of the mountain, watching the whole pattern, Meng Zhangmo calculated the heaven and earth qi in his heart, and couldn't help but be surprised: "The feng shui in this place is a hidden dragon pattern, and the Taoist temple is on the first nine dragon positions!"

As soon as he heard this, of course Zhang Xian didn't understand, but Meng Baiyang was also surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Second uncle, you read it right, how could it be so coincidental?"

Meng Zhangmo said: "It shouldn't be a coincidence, the Taoist temple was built here, it must have surveyed the pattern here, and the immortal master, either knows how to be able to do it, or has asked a master for guidance." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xian was also stunned in his heart, he was an impostor, and he actually occupied a treasure of feng shui, he couldn't help but be interested, the main owner of this Taoist temple, where is it sacred, all the arrangements of this Taoist temple are the atmosphere of a master outside the world.

"Shizun is outside, just let me come back here to practice, and the rest of the things, Shizun didn't say much. ”

He shirked the matter, so as not to slip his mouth, and asked curiously: "Senior, I don't know what is the mystery of this hidden dragon pattern?"
