Chapter 130: Shenjing

As soon as he thought that he was going to marry Liu Fengchun of the Louguan faction, Liu Dianzong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he couldn't help but be happy as soon as possible, and now he is still carrying the emperor's order, hiding the hand oracle and jade pendant of today's saint, looking for immortality for the emperor, if this mission can be successfully completed, then Liu Dianzong will be able to gain the favor of the emperor, and it is not impossible to take charge of the Chaotian Palace and even the Daolu Division in the future。

It's just that isn't it sorry for Zhang Ruyi? The days with her childhood sweetheart seem to have completely gone, and the joy of fish and water on the way back from the capital only makes him have some aftertaste, and those who want to achieve great things are not informal, not to mention Liu Fengchun's graceful demeanor is also a little charming, what is she doing with nostalgia? If Master Canglang is to blame, he will naturally have the master to make the decision for him, and he is also very calm in his heart, this is for the sake of the long-term plan of Longhu Mountain, and what is the lifelong event of a female disciple?

Since that time under the immortal cliff unhappily dispersed, Zhang Ruyi looked for him a few more times, Liu Dianzong saw her crying and crying appearance, the eye sockets were light red, tears were a little bit, he was annoyed, the previous sweet words were never said again, and he made excuses to leave without saying a few words, and he was no longer willing to be alone with her, Zhang Ruyi thought at first that Liu was just angry with her, and always wanted to find a chance to talk to him for the sake of the child in his belly, but the opportunity never appeared again, Liu Dianzong finished a few things explained by the master, and left under the pretense, except for the master, no one knew where he went, and a Zhang Ruyi was as anxious as a headless fly, at this time, the master Canglang was too far on the mountain, there is no one to rely on around, and she can't find Liu Dianzong, she is really lost and regretful.

Liu Dianzong left Longhu Mountain alone, and according to the guidance of the golden scroll in his hand, he went to the area of Dongting Lake, he was dressed in cyan round-necked civilian clothes, wearing a strong scarf, and a purple cloud sword hidden in the bamboo box on his back, pretending to be a chivalrous man who traveled in the mountains and rivers, but he was also very handsome and chic.

Be full of ambition and hurry up.

Since he went up the mountain to learn the Tao in his childhood, Liu Dianzong has not returned to his hometown in Guixi County, Guangxin Prefecture for more than ten years, he decided to take this opportunity to take a detour home, inquire about the way, and walk for a few days to the mouth of the Luotang River, and the Baoshan Stone Town on the other side is where his hometown is located.

From a distance, the Baoshan on the opposite bank resembles a giant mushroom, the north-south direction, the south is adjacent to the Luotang River, the east, west and north are all cliffs on three sides, the stone wall has carved out a lot of square caves that hold hanging coffins, it looks like a piece of black patch from a distance, the customs here are prevalent in cave burials, the village of more than 100 households is located on the top of the mushroom, the houses are built according to the height of the mountain, scattered and disorderly, Baoshan is surrounded by natural hazards, only the east and west two stone gates can be entered and exited.

The inhabitants of the stone city are all people surnamed Liu, the ancestor surnamed Liu fled from the north in the late Southern Song Dynasty, saw that this place is very dangerous, then chiseled the stone for the ladder, climbed to the top of the mountain, built a stone house to settle, so the mountain shape is like a mushroom, the makeup is like an ingot, it is named Baoshan, and open up terraces on the barren mountains around Baoshan, farming for a living, the stone city is condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the last year of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, marched through this place, Liu Bowen, the military advisor of the army, watched the situation of this mountain, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, " This place is as abrupt as a pillar, there are Vermilion Birds drinking water next to it, and there will be underground demons in two hundred years, endangering the community, and the general can get tired of the town as soon as possible. β€œ

"In the opinion of the military advisor, why should it be used as a way to hate the town?" Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised when he heard this.

Liu Bowen pinched his fingers and said: "The general only needs to pass the order to go down and dig a well in the center of this stone city, which is five feet six inches wide and three feet deep, so as to vent his evil spirit, let people guard it, and prevent filthy things from falling in, so as to ensure that future generations will not have to worry about it." β€œ

Zhu Yuanzhang acted according to the plan, Baoshan Stone City has the only well, it is strange to say, the well since the digging, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, hot and cold, rain and drought, no day is not a full of water waves to shine on people, never dry up, but where there is filth into the well, the well water will boil like boiling water, until the filth is fished out, it is called the god well by the locals, every three festivals, but also hang red satin, put tribute sacrifices, hundreds of years along the habit for the custom.

Liu Dianzong was born in Stone City, his father was a little smart, he won the imperial examination early, served as a Beijing official, and later went to Gansu, the official to the second grade, but accidentally involved in a corruption case, was dismissed and investigated, died of illness in prison, Liu Dianzong's family fell into the middle of the road, food and clothing were not guaranteed, and his mother ruthlessly sent him to Longhu Mountain Lingyun Guan to learn the Tao, hoping to get ahead in the future.

The rolling Luotang River flows to the northwest and flows into the Ganjiang River, Liu Dianzong sat on the bank and recalled the past before going up the mountain, when his father was an official, the family was quite respected by the clansmen, and there were people who took care of him inside and out, but after the news of his father's death came, the clansmen all turned their faces like they were in the middle of the evil, avoiding the mother and son like the plague, and also occupied the source of food and clothing for the mother and son, only two acres of terraced fields.

The past is like flowing water, but the bitter imprint in my mind is difficult to erase. Liu Dianzong sighed, crossed the Luotang River with flying steps, climbed the mottled stone steps, and returned to his hometown after a long absence, but it was already a matter of people, and on both sides of the straight or curved stone path, there was no longer a crowded scene of the past, and there were even cracks on the mossy stone wall, and after walking for a long time, there was no one in sight.

Liu Dianzong was in these empty stone houses, as if he had come to a different worldly wilderness, which made him feel strange and confused, he could no longer find his way home, could it be that the people here had all suffered misfortune? Suddenly, a creaking sound from a wooden door broke Liu Dianzong's thoughts.

"Who? Is it a passing merchant?" Behind the wooden door, an old face was revealed, with a white beard on his chin, and his eyes looked at Liu Dianzong nervously, probably holding weapons such as knives and axes in his hands.

Liu Dianzong recognized this person as his third uncle Liu Tang, who bullied his mother a lot at that time, but this will be much older, with a rickety figure and sideburns like frost, "Third uncle, it's me, I'm Dianzong." β€œ

"Ah, Dianzong, are you a human or a ghost?" There has been no news for more than ten years, Liu Tang thought that the child called Dianzong had died a long time ago, how could he suddenly return here, I am afraid that he is not an evil ghost and wants to seek revenge?

"Third uncle, don't you recognize me? I am really a palace sect, and I am not dead, of course I am a human. β€œ127

Liu Tang wiped his eyes, and then he saw that the young man in front of him really had a bit of the shadow of the palace sect, and he didn't look like he was here to seek revenge, so he smiled happily: "Ah, it's really my nephew Dianzong, where have you been for more than ten years, the people in Stone City are very worried about you!"

Is it because I don't die, Liu Dianzong sneered in his heart, "Third uncle, is my mother still in the world?"

"Alas, less than two years after you left, my sister-in-law died, and she was still reading your name when she was dying. The third uncle pretended to cry and wiped his eyes.

"Is the coffin ready to be buried?"

The third uncle's face changed when he heard this, "Ah, the coffin was originally going to go down to the hole, but the weather was bad for a few days at that time, and it was delayed, and now the coffin is still in the back hall of your house." β€œ

Liu Dianzong didn't say anything anymore, only asked the third uncle to lead the way, and finally found a home, not so much a home, but a broken wall, the courtyard wall collapsed for several years, not as high as the weeds, several stone houses have long been roofless, only the broken stone wall was eroded by wind and rain, crumbling, and the mother's coffin was placed in the corner of a stone house on the left, revealing a black corner under a pile of debris.

"Here, here. Liu Tang pointed to the coffin, everyone thought that Liu Dianzong would not come back, so when Liu's mother died, no one was willing to carry the coffin down to the cave, Liu Tang now regrets it very much, "I asked the big guy to help, but I didn't choose a good day, delayed, I really can't live sister-in-law, I'm sorry, after that, the people of Stone Town left here and went to the town dozens of miles away to beg for a living, and no one helped if they wanted to get out of the coffin! Now there are only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people left in Stone Town! β€œ

Liu Dianzong saw the coffin crying, secretly pinched the decision, recited a spell, and slowly moved his mother's coffin off the ground.

"Third uncle, don't worship, I am now a Taoist priest practicing in Longhu Mountain, and today I want to transport the coffin to bury my mother, and I am bothered to lead me to my father's burial cave. β€œ

Liu Tang hurriedly got up to lead the way, Liu Dianzong performed a carrying technique, and after a while, he came to the edge of the cliff near the river in the south, Liu Tang climbed a dead wood and probed down, "Dianzong, the cave below here is where your father is buried, can you go down?" This cave is too far from the ground, and the river is below, I think I should go to find a rope." Liu Tang hobbled to the village to find a rope, and here Liu Dianzong flew in the air, and had already transported his mother's coffin into the cave, and the two parents were finally buried together in a cave.

Liu Dianzong stood still in the cave, looking at the two coffins in front of him, both of which were a little decayed, exuding bursts of peculiar rotten gas, Liu Tang finally came to the cave along a rope, although he was old, his skillful rope climbing skills were not completely unfamiliar.

"Dianzong, you are really a filial son, quickly kowtow to your parents. β€œ

Liu Dianzong actually laughed, "I can have today, all thanks to my father, if he didn't break the law and die, my mother would not be bullied by you, it is difficult to live, I was forced, I was sent to the mountain to learn the Tao, almost ruined the future of my life, but the sky will not stop me, I will fly in the future, but I will not kowtow to them, they are not worthy, as for you, since you are here, stay here and be a companion with my parents." β€œ

Liu Tang was shocked: "What are you going to do?" Dianzong, I'm your third uncle, what are you doing?"

Liu Dianzong smiled contemptuously, the figure disappeared, and disappeared with him, as well as the rope, without the rope, Liu Tang would be unable to fly, unless he jumped into the turbulent river, the result was still a dead word. Liu Dianzong returned to the stone city, searched for the old, weak, sick and disabled in the village, and recognized all the clansmen who abused their mother and son back then, the patriarch of the year, and a few sycophants around the patriarch, now they are all in the last years, and they all look frightened when they see the palace, they beg Liu Dianzong for mercy, Liu Dianzong remembered that his mother's coffin was destroyed by more than ten years of wind and rain, so he was angry, and he didn't stop doing it, and drew his sword to drive the few people he found to the god well.

"Patriarch, Dianzong is here to repay your great kindness today!" After that, Liu Dianzong ignored their prayers and wails, swung his sword and cut the throats of several people, and threw the corpses into the well.

Liu Dianzong remembered the legend of the ghost king of the well he heard when he was a child, and stood up with his sword, "The divine well has been broken, if the people and demons have spirits, thank me!"

I saw a stream of black gas rushing out from under the divine well, spiraling like a snake along Liu Dianzong's heel to the top of his head, so frightened that he let go of his hand and fell his sword into the muddy water.
