Volume 1, The Breath of Eating Cattle Chapter 41, there are ghosts and gods in the mountains
The young Taoist priest finally climbed to the top of the mountain, and what caught his eyes was the three big characters of "Xuandu Temple", and there was a wooden bolt next to the gate, which was used to tie the green cow in the past.
Lu Tu walked over, stretched out his hand and touched the top of the wooden bolt, this wooden bolt is also wonderful, after a few Jiazi time did not show decay, but only a little more moss.
Outsiders may not know the reason, at most they think that this wooden bolt is stained with the mystery of the supreme Taoism, so it is "immortal", only the young Taoist priest knows in his heart that this wooden bolt is a real immortal artifact.
The name of this wooden bolt is "Tongtian", which means to ascend to the sky, and it is given by his own master in the past to the green cow who can listen to the Tao and realize the Tao, hoping that it will prove the Tao and embark on the road to heaven.
Now the green cow is gone, all that is left is this wooden bolt and an old thick hemp rope, the wooden bolt is a divine object, but this hemp rope is just an ordinary rope, naturally not a fairy thing.
Lu Tu raised his sleeve robe with both hands, and then patted his calf with his sleeve robe, to show that there was no trace of dust in his view, and there was no distraction in his heart.
Lu Tu walked to the Xuandu Temple, the outside of the view is the pure nature, the inside of the view is extremely empty, the surprise is that there are several ancient pines growing here, but the roots are from the paving green bricks to break out of the soil, but it is also blessed.
The young Taoist priest walked to the innermost hall, there were twenty-eight bright lanterns in the hall, each of which was placed in the direction of the twenty-eight stars, with the east side as the head of the green dragon, the horned wood Jiao, the Kangjin dragon, the earth raccoon, the Fang Ri rabbit, the heart moon fox, the tailed fire tiger, and the Kei water leopard.
In the south, the Vermilion Bird is the leader, the Jingmu Rhino, the Ghost Golden Sheep, the Liutu Roe Deer, the Xingri Horse, the Zhang Yuelu, the Winged Fire Snake, and the Water Worm.
In the West, the white tiger is the leader, the Kui wood wolf, the Lou Jin dog, the stomach pheasant, the Pleiades pheasant, the Biyue Wu, the fire monkey, and the ginseng ape.
Finally, in the north is Xuanwu, Doumu Hedgehog, Ox Taurus, Female Earth Bat, Void Sun Mouse, Dangerous Moon Swallow, Chambered Fire Pig, and Wall Water Otter.
Take the beginning and end of the word, that is, the east to the corner, Kang, ζ°, Fang, heart, tail, Kei.
In the north, there are fights, bulls, women, voids, dangers, rooms, and walls.
In the south, there are wells, ghosts, willows, stars, zhangs, wings, and zhen.
In the west, Kui, Lou, Stomach, Pleiades, Bi, Mi, and Ginseng.
The four guards are suppressed, the four sides are suppressed, and the four elephants derive the gossip, and the gossip is based on yin and yang, which is the culmination of the Tao.
That is, it is to cultivate oneself and do nothing, and the body outside the body is light and nothing.
Seeing this scene, Lu Tu smiled, and suddenly remembered an interesting sentence in his heart.
In the whole world, fortune tellers are not all Taoists, but may also be Confucian scholars, observing words and minds.
Those who want to study do not necessarily have to be young Mengtong, but also the old man, who has no boundaries of learning and no precipice.
Those who do good do not necessarily have to be the bodhisattvas who save suffering, but also everyone in the world who has good intentions and acts virtuous.
When the young Taoist priest thought of this, he was a little nostalgic for those days in the past, carefree and at ease, where did so much come from!
He walked slowly to the innermost point, where there was only an old altar, on which no statue of a god had been placed or any plaque had been erected.
Only three things that were old were quietly placed there, a dusty hand, a yellowed book, and a round bead.
The name of the dust is "WTO accession", the name of the book is "Guanxin", and the name of the beads is "Returning to Truth".
Looking down further, there are three futons placed under the altar.
Lu Tu walked to the side of the offering platform, first waved his right sleeve robe, and a small incense burner with three legs and two ears appeared on the offering platform. Then I saw him holding three wisps of fine incense that appeared out of thin air at some unknown point in his left hand, and the young Taoist priest did not use the technique, and the three wisps of incense spontaneously ignited and slowly rose smoke.
He walked to the altar, bowed his head with his hands held high with fine incense, and bowed his head nine times to the three items on the altar.
After worshipping, the fine incense was inserted on the incense burner, Lu Tu took a few steps back, walked to the futon furthest outside, and the young Taoist priest sat cross-legged with his hands raised in his sleeve robe.
"Bang!"
He glanced at the other two futons, then reached out and patted them on the ground and chuckled, "Give the poor way!"
At the same time, thousands of miles away, where the Dao system was located somewhere in Dongsheng Divine Continent, the earth suddenly began to shake, startling everyone, and then a scene that shocked them appeared!
In a clearing somewhere where there were so many Qionglou Yuyu, I saw a huge tower break through the ground, and then rise higher and higher, and as countless dirt fell, the earth returned to calm.
Only then did everyone see that the tower went straight into the sky, as if it reached the sky!
The body of the tower is a red color, divided into 72 floors, from the top to the bottom of the stacked platform each with a railing, surrounded by floating clouds swimming, birds successively around the body of this tower.
When those people saw the towers rising from the ground, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and then reacted and quickly knelt on the ground, looking extremely respectful. Heart Dao, this must be the manifestation of the immortals in the sky!
And in the high part of the tower, which was shrouded in clouds and mist, a figure appeared and stood on the platform, glancing down at the people who were like small black dots.
When the floating clouds drifted away, I found that it was an elegant young man wearing a Ruyi crown and a Taoist robe, Hao Ran had appeared in Baiju Town, the senior brother of Lu Tu.
I saw him standing on the balcony after he appeared, stretched out his sleeve robe and waved it lightly, and those swirling clouds were dispersed.
The elegant young man wearing the Ruyi crown turned around, and behind him stood a young Taoist priest, who was the head of Lu Tulu Dao.
Lu Tu walked up to him and stretched, then casually waved a wisp of floating clouds in his palm, and said with a smile, "Senior brother, it's time to call that guy down." β
The elegant young man nodded and asked with a smile, "The real body is still in Baiju Town?"
The fugue clone, with the technique of one qi and three parts, walks between heaven and earth, and is divided into two bodies, yin and yang, which is different from the short-term doppelganger of the magic and the original spirit, which can stay forever, and is no different from the real body.
With the cultivation of the elegant young man, he saw that the junior brother in front of him was a Yin God traveling far away.
Hearing this, the young Taoist priest leaned on the railing with his upper body and nodded, he gently blew away the wisps of floating clouds in his palm, and then said with a smile, "I won't come back so soon, I will naturally come back when the time comes." β
After a while, he smiled again, "This place has to be handed over to that guy to guard, so it can save a lot of worries." β
The elegant young man looked straight ahead with his eyes, nodded and said, "I hope her choice is right." β
Lu Tu smiled and gave a two-pronged answer, "Senior brother, how do you know what happened today and what will happen tomorrow, and how do you know that he didn't choose her." β
The elegant young man smiled without saying a word, and then turned to leave, leaving only the young Taoist priest on the towering platform.
After a while,
In the distance, a huge aura suddenly flew towards the tower, and wherever the figure passed, the clouds around him were all stirred up by the fierce sword qi.
The young Taoist priest stood up and sneered, "Poor Dao is not a woman, who can you show your high-profile to?!"
I saw him raise his sleeve robe and stretch out his hand to pat it, and the fast-moving figure was suddenly slapped down, and it smashed on the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Lu Tu nodded with satisfaction, he has long wanted to find a reason, cough cough, it is to "reason" with this nephew, no, like a fly flying around in front of the poor road, I don't have a sore eye if you are not tired.
The one who was slapped down by the young Taoist priest was naturally the one who unified the Dao lineage, the one with the highest swordsmanship.
He is also the best choice to defend this tower.

In the territory of the Han Dynasty,
As the night approached, Yao Zhenyi walked in the forest where a little mist began to rise, and there was silence all around, except for a slight breeze.
"Rustleβ"
The footsteps of the young man sounded in this old forest, walking alone on the road, if it was a timid person, I am afraid that he would have been scared half to death.
Yao Zhenyi has long been accustomed to it, in the past, in order to fill his stomach, he often went to the mountains late at night to collect medicine, dig those wild vegetables, pick wild fruits to eat.
It was only later that the shopkeeper Sun taught him to distinguish herbs, so he rarely went up the mountain at night, but occasionally he still went a few times.
The deepest impression is that time, because the young man suffered from the cold, it was late at night, and he didn't want to bother the shopkeeper Sun, so he carried a bamboo basket up the mountain alone to collect medicine.
He will never forget that night, when he had just picked the herb when he ran to the mountain, suddenly a tiger came out of the forest, and the tiger stared at him with its eyes.
The kind of terrifying look that makes him feel palpitations when he thinks about it to this day, the moment of life and death is the most unforgettable.
For some reason, the tiger didn't eat him, but stared at the boy for a while and then turned away......
βοΌοΌβ
Just when Yao Zhenyi remembered these thoughts, he suddenly found that in the hazy mist in front of him, two subtle rays of light appeared.
He stopped in disbelief, staring ahead with a frown.
"Woo!"
At this moment, he felt that something was wrong behind him, and just as he was about to turn around, a hand stretched out and grabbed his mouth suddenly, and Yao Zhenyi, who reacted, struggled desperately, and could only whine.
"Shh
Seeing a boo sound in his ears, signaling him not to speak, Yao Zhenyi glanced down, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Hao Ran had a pair of white boots on his body, and there was a shadow.
"Rustleβ"
The two rays of light became brighter and brighter, followed by a rush of footsteps, and what made the young man's pupils shrink was that more than a dozen figures appeared in the mist, and the two figures in the front were holding red lanterns!
The most strange thing is that there is a sedan chair in the middle of the team wearing red and hanging colors and moving slowly, Yao Zhenyi can see clearly, this is a team of marrying relatives?
And when he turned his head sideways, he found that it was a handsome scholar who stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, the scholar looked serious, shook his head at him and signaled not to speak, Yao Zhenyi nodded, but there was a little strange in his heart, why is this scholar so fragrant?
"Woo-woo-"
At this moment, in the big red sedan chair carried by the team, there was a faint sound of a woman crying, and one of the figures was actually walking this way.
The "marrying" team stopped, and the figure got closer and closer, and by the moonlight, it was an old woman with a smile on her face.
The old woman walked up to the two of them, took out a piece of loose silver in her arms and handed it over, and the scholar let go of the hand that covered Yao Zhenyi's mouth, bowed to the old woman, and took the loose silver.
The old woman smiled softly, "My mountain god marries a relative, if there is any chatter when passing by, please don't blame the two sons, please bear with me, the old man is here to thank you!"
The scholar smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.
And Yao Zhenyi came to be a constant person, so he always took it, he bowed to the old woman and said, "The kid is very honored." β
When the old woman saw the young man raise her head, her eyes were clear, and she smiled even more happily, only to see her say softly, "If the son has a good heart, there will be good fortune." β
After saying that, she stopped and waved at the group, and they walked slowly into the depths of the mountain.
Only Yao Zhenyi and the handsome scholar were left, and after those people disappeared, the young man was able to start looking at the scholar, only to see that he had a beautiful face, and he was born a little better than a woman, which was really strange.
......
Inside the dilapidated City God Temple,
The two of them walked forward together with their own thoughts, and in this quiet forest, they found a long-abandoned City God Temple, Yao Zhenyi and the scholar glanced at each other, and settled here tonight.
"Crackleβ"
The boy found a bunch of weeds and spread them in the temple, and then went outside to pick up some dry branches and came back, and seeing him running around, the scholar took a branch and broke it, and then threw it into the fire that had just been built, and the crackling sound of the branches burning in the fire sounded.
Yao Zhenyi got all this done, and then sat down next to the scholar, looking at the fire together and being speechless.
"I don't know ...... yet"
"You speak first. β
After a while, the two turned their heads in unison and asked, only to find that the other person was speaking with him, smiled awkwardly, and then gave way to each other at the same time.
In the end, it was the scholar who spoke first and smiled, "Qin Xiang." β
The young man also smiled, "Yao Zhenyi." β
After Qin Xiang finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the fire again, and asked the young man, "Yao Zhenyi, then again, why are you alone in this square inch mountain." β
Yao Zhenyi smiled and said, "Hurry, what about you." β
The scholar who called himself Qin Xiang seemed to be casually saying, "It's too boring at home, come out and walk around." β
The two of them have their own thoughts, and no one knows whose roots they meet, so the atmosphere suddenly becomes a little awkward.
Just when the two of them were speechless, Yao Zhenyi smiled and said to Qin Xiang, "It's late at night, go and rest, I'll just keep vigil." β
Qin Xiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you come in turn?"
Yao Zhenyi shook his head, "No." β
Qin Xiao had no choice but to nod, then stood up, raised his robe, slowly walked to the weeds that had already been laid, and lay down on his back with one hand supporting his head and facing away from the young man.
The boy smiled at this scene and stood up.
Just when he stood up, Qin Xiang, who was lying on his back with his back to him, supported his head with one hand, and the hand on his abdomen was holding a thin needle between his fingers, and the needle was faintly shining in this dark temple.
Yao Zhenyi walked to the door and began to practice the walking pile, which was the eight-step walking pile he called Daoquan.
Maybe it's because of the more and more punches, he is very handy at the moment to practice boxing, the figure of the young man walks slowly at the door, punching while walking and then closing the punch, and after dozens of cycles in turn, he gradually enters the best state, and his mind is immersed in it.
Qin Xiao quietly turned his head and saw the figure of the young man practicing boxing at the door, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the thin needle in his hand disappeared from his sleeve, he turned his head again, smiled and closed his eyes, he was really a little tired.
As the night deepened, in the ruined temple, a scholar by the fire supported his head with his hands, lying on his back on a thatched pile with his back to the door.
At the door, the young man raised his head and glanced at the moonlight, which had been obscured by dark clouds in the night sky, and then began to take the pile again.
