Lan Yue watched with interest as Shen Chaixing gobbled up his meal, Shen Chaixing glanced at Lan Yue while eating, and muttered, "When did you become a Taoist priest?" Also, did you say that the Arctic Temple near the sea by the sea that Yunhe said today could be our target?"

Lan Yue took a sip of the fragrant tea offered by the guy, and was satisfied, and then said slowly: "What do you say is more suitable for hiding treasures than a sparsely populated, haunted place by the sea?"

After returning to the room, Lan Yue asked Shen Chaixing to take out the jade pendant again, and the two carefully studied the text on it, and the text on the front was "Jin Que incarnation, Demon Heavenly Venerable." Nine days of cruising, the four seas are rising" sixteen characters and the portrait of the Emperor Zhenwu, in addition to the image of the Big Dipper on the reverse side, there are also sixteen characters "starting from Beichen, ending with Yaoguang, Zhangzhi to nine, the sun is in the extreme sun". The two of them didn't have a clue for a long time, they could only draw a preliminary conclusion, the text on the front seemed to be just reminding that everything was related to the Emperor Zhenwu, and the Big Dipper on the reverse seemed to indicate a certain time and a certain direction.

The next day, the two got up early and set off to the east, it has passed the mangzhong solar term, there are a few days is the summer solstice, it is the hot season, the two walk and stop, when they arrive at the grass weir field, the sun has set, the two inquire passers-by, the North Pole Temple is still a long distance away from here, and the nearby polder swamp is longitudinal, it is very dangerous to walk at night, it is possible to kill if you fall into it, the two will find a farmhouse to stay, by the way to inquire about the situation.

There were very few families in the vicinity of Caoyanchang, and the two had to walk back a distance to find a family to stay in. The owner's surname is Gu, but a middle-aged couple in their forties, their son went out to sea to fish, and when they saw the two of them staying, they probably saw that their son was the same age as them, and they were very enthusiastic.

Lan Yue asked him about the situation of the Arctic Palace, and Uncle Gu talked about it one by one. Originally, the grass weir field is just a beach by the sea, all around is an endless tidal flat swamp and reeds, and no one is inhabited, to the Southern Song Dynasty, suddenly came a group of people stationed here, and built this Arctic temple, according to the old man, the temple was built in the early days of the temple There are always people in the vicinity, and it is not open to the public, but the farmers who are grassing nearby go to see that the temple often has people in and out, and even see that there are large sea boats parked in the nearby sea, and there are people who change boats to come to the North Pole Temple. Later, the Mongols died in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the North Pole Temple gradually lost its popularity, but it was only used as a jungle temple for Taoist friends all over the world.

Shen Chaixing didn't understand what a jungle temple was, and Lan Yue explained: "There are two kinds of Taoist palaces, one is called the descendant temple, which is passed down from generation to generation between master and apprentice, and the temple property can be inherited, and there is an exclusive sect. The temple property of the jungle temple is shared by the Taoist friends of the world, and all the French disciples of the Taoist family can live and manage it, so there are often Taoist priests who go to place orders. ”

Shen Chaixing smiled when he heard this: "Lan Daoist, you know so much, why don't you live in it directly tomorrow, help them manage it, and even become their head, I can also touch your light, isn't it beautiful?"

Hearing what he said, Uncle Gu still believed it, Lan Yue glared at Shen Chaixing, and said to Uncle Gu: "Don't listen to his child's nonsense, you still continue to talk about it, it is rumored that Zhang Shicheng started from here, right?"

Uncle Gu continued: "That Zhang Shicheng is a native of Taizhou, he joined the salt gang when he was young, sold illicit salt in the nearby area, and was repeatedly chased and killed by officers and soldiers, but he relied on his strong martial arts and familiar terrain, and he could always escape every time. That year, he was caught up by the officers and soldiers again, but this time the number of officers and soldiers could be more than 3,000 people, and Zhang Shicheng's salt gang was killed and wounded, and in the end only 18 people fled here. Three thousand soldiers surrounded the Arctic Temple, and were about to launch a final attack, when suddenly, a thick fog fell from the sky, and the entire grass weir field was shrouded in it, and it was impossible to see people's faces face to face. Immediately afterwards, there was a creaking sound from the ground, the ground shook slightly, and then the red light in the courtyard was printed in the sky, and then the temple was opened, and a group of people who were black pressed rushed out with a red light bracelet, originally Zhang Shicheng only eighteen people fled here, and at this moment I don't know where so many people came, many people were holding fire-breathing guys in their hands, making an amazing sound, the first person was Zhang Shicheng, he held a pair of golden rings, every time he sent it back, he would take the head of a soldier ••••••"

"That's the Golden Ring of Death!" Hearing this, Shen Chaixing suddenly shouted excitedly, and suddenly saw Lan Yue looking at him with suspicious eyes, and hurriedly smiled: "Uncle Gu, you said it too well, continue!"

Uncle Gu continued: "Everyone knows what happened later, everyone said that it was the Emperor Zhenwu who appeared and lent Zhang Shicheng the heavenly soldiers and divine weapons to let him rebel. ”

Lan Yue then asked, "I've heard that the latest generation of hauntings is going on, does it have anything to do with the Arctic Temple?"

When Uncle Gu heard this, he seemed a little scared, and said in a low voice: "It's true." I have seen white shadows flickering through the reeds at night, and sometimes in the dead of night, I can faintly hear the sound of many female ghosts crying together. Some time ago, the cattle of the former village Li nerd's family ran into the reed pond of the grass weir field and disappeared, he and his brother-in-law went in to look for them, but they did not return overnight, but the next day, someone found his two bodies lying on the beach fifty miles away, without any wounds on their bodies. ”

Shen Chaixing said: "Could they be drowned?"

Uncle Gu said: "It's strange that it's strange here, the two of them have excellent water nature, and they also go together." Besides, even if you drown, you should die in the swamp of the reed pond, how can you go to the sea dozens of miles away?"

Lan Yue said: "Let's go there during the day tomorrow and find out, it won't be haunted during the day!"

Uncle Gu persuaded worriedly: "This kind of place, it's better to go less during the day." When I was beating the reeds, I looked over there, and the mountain gate has not been opened for many years, and I don't know if there is anyone now. There are no ghosts during the day, but what if there is a demon? The two sons look so standard, it's not good to be entangled by the fox fairy!"

Shen Chaixing smiled: "It's irrelevant, don't you know, this Lan Gongzi is actually a Taoist priest, and he is the best at subduing demons and catching ghosts! Don't you believe it?" and pulled Lan Yue's sleeve and said: "Come, come, come, you perform a spell for Uncle Gu that you are good at, which is the •••••• that is as urgent as the law."

Lan Yue glared at him angrily and said, "It's not early, Uncle Gu has been busy for a day, and it's time to rest." I'm tired too, so you can go out and hunt ghosts at night, and I'll go to bed first. With that, he went back to the house to sleep, and never listened to Shen Chaixing's nonsense again.

The next morning, after drinking the barley porridge cooked by Aunt Gu, the two of them said goodbye to the Gu family, and before leaving, they forced a piece of silver to be stuffed to Brother Gu.

The two of them walked towards the North Pole Temple. Shen Chaixing said: "You wasted so much effort to let him accept the silver, in my opinion, there is no need to say so much, just stuff the silver into the quilt on his bed, and you won't get it." ”

Lan Yue said: "A person's personality determines what a person will do. Uncle Gu's character is loyal and honest, not greedy. You stuff the silver into his bedding, and what if he thinks you dropped it and turns around and takes the silver to the grass weir to look for you? What if the nerd Li was killed by a ghost?"

Shen Chaixing was speechless, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Do you say that there are ghosts in this world?"

Lan Yue said: "People die as ghosts, and I don't die, how can I know." However, there are many ghostly things that can be explained by human beings. ”

Shen Chaixing asked, "For example?"

Lan Yue replied: "For example, Uncle Gu said that the two Li nerds died on the beach dozens of miles away, and it is possible that they were killed by someone, thrown into the sea, and then swept by the waves to the beach fifty miles away. ”

Shen Chaixing asked, "How can you explain that there are no wounds all over your body?"

Lan Yue said: "A martial arts master with a little internal force can use internal force to break people's hearts without seeing external injuries, you should know this better than me." ”

"Also," Lan Yue continued: "Uncle Gu said that when Zhang Shicheng rushed out of the mountain gate, some of his subordinates were holding fire-breathing artifacts, and I guess they may have used firearms, Momen's firearms. Those who are extra may also be Momen people. In this way, this Arctic Temple should be inextricably linked with the Momen at that time, and it is very likely that the first person to build the Arctic Temple was the Momen people. ”

Shen Chaixing said: "Ji Tan Zongxi also mentioned Momen, he said that Momen is the best at organ layout and manufacturing equipment, and he also said that Zhang Shicheng should get the help of Momen, otherwise when the Yuan Dynasty took off the Taishi and besieged Gaoyou with millions of soldiers, Zhang Shicheng would definitely not be able to defend it." Therefore, Ji Tan Zongxi said that the treasure of King Wu is actually the treasure of Momen. Then he asked, "You said that the treasure may have been discovered now?"

Lan Yue said: "Probably not." Otherwise, the jade pendant on your body will be a waste. However, there may be people who are as suspicious as we are of the Momen treasures, and even discover some secret passages. ”

Shen Chaixing asked, "Why?"

Lan Yue said: "You see that this place is a low-lying land by the sea, swamps are criss-crossed, no one who knows a little about feng shui will build a temple here, isn't it afraid of sinking after a long time? ”

Shen Chaixing asked again: "Why did Momen build here?"

Lan Yue said: "This can't just look at geography, but also take into account the situation at that time, Zhang Shijie, the Momen giant at that time, may want to build this place into a secret stronghold against the Yuan." ”

While chatting, the two watched the surrounding scenery, only to see 10,000 acres of reeds straight as the sea, among which there are elk and cranes from time to time. Shen Chaixing said: "Do you say that the white shadow and the woman's cry that Uncle Gu saw could be the figure and chirping of the white crane here?"

Lan Yue said: "That's not necessarily, Uncle Gu has lived here for decades, and the cry of the white crane and the cry of people can still be distinguished." ”

Shen Chaixing said with a smile: "You explained everything here with Momen, and I feel better, but now that you say this, I am scared again." ”

The two of them were talking and laughing, and before they knew it, the Arctic Temple was already standing in front of them.
