Chapter 228: There is a Taoist temple
The continuous Zhenling Mountains completely isolate Nanling from other large domains, and the broken ridge in the northern part of Zhenling Mountain is an insurmountable moat for all ordinary people.
The moment Su Chen opened his eyes, the side of Zhenling Mountain was so clearly presented in front of his eyes. The clouds and mist are churning under the plank road, and the whistling sound of the wind is like the terrible cry of a beast in the cold night of the north.
However, what shocked Su Chen even more was that there was a bright red cloud like blood above the heads of him and Meng Qishan, which was churning up and down at this moment and changing into various terrifying shapes to demonstrate towards Su Chen.
"Ahh
Su Chen exclaimed loudly, this blood cloud seemed to come to life, and it turned into a blood tiger and swooped towards Su Chen......
"Xiaochen, close your eyes. At this moment, Meng Qishan in front of him roared, Su Chen was excited, and quickly closed his eyes, and the sound of the blood tiger opening its teeth and dancing claws disappeared in an instant.
"This Zhenling Mountain is extremely weird, if you open your eyes, your soul is easily disturbed, and those who are not strong will be controlled by Zhenling Mountain, when I came, I saw a lot of businessmen jumping off the plank road because they opened their eyes, Xiaochen, don't open your eyes. ”
The incident just now was vivid, Su Chen was a little afraid, he kept his mind tightly, and he didn't dare to open his eyes anymore, but he was very puzzled in his heart, "The qi that affected him to open his eyes before didn't seem to come from Zhenling Mountain, but came from him. ”
"Could it be ......" Su Chen had an idea, rummaged in his arms with his hand for a long time, and finally took out a bright red stone from his arms, which was a specialty of the Southern Tang Dynasty - Blood Stone.
Many merchants in the north came here to collect this kind of stone, but at the moment, the blood stone was not what Su Chen remembered at all, the blood stone that was half a fist size seemed to be alive at the moment, and there was a red light flowing inside, which looked no different from the flowing blood from the outside.
"This ...... What the hell is going on?"
Su Chen was even more puzzled, and at this moment, Meng Qishan, who was originally leading the way in front, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the bloody stone in Su Chen's hand, shining brightly.
"Xiaochen, where did you come from?" Meng Qishan's expression was serious, but there was a hint of surprise in his words.
"This ...... This...... This is what I picked up, this kind of stone is more in our Nantang, is there anything wrong with it?"
Meng Qishan took the blood stone from Su Chen's hand, observed it carefully, and showed a thoughtful look on his face from time to time, Su Chen saw it in his eyes, and faintly understood why Meng Qishan came to Nanling at the risk of losing his cultivation.
"Xiaochen, you said that Nantang is rich in this kind of stone?"
"Also...... Not really. Su Chen tilted his head and replied, "This stone is called the Blood Stone in our local area, and it is produced by the Blood River outside the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Blood River is a forbidden river in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and only a few people sneak into the Blood River every year to find out some Blood Stones." ”
"I see. After listening to Su Chen, Meng Qishan suddenly realized, "No wonder when I entered the Southern Tang Dynasty to inquire about this stone before, the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty were secretive about it. ”
"But it doesn't look like it's a natural formation. Meng Qishan looked at the red liquid that was constantly flowing inside the blood stone and said his guess, "The liquid flowing in the blood stone is really similar to blood. ”
The two of them were attracted by the blood stone, and they both opened their eyes, but fortunately, Su Chen had already handed the blood stone in his hand to Meng Qishan, although the blood cloud above his head still had some influence on him, but Su Chen was able to resist it with his own mind.
In addition, he had practiced the "Visualization Record" for a short time, and his spirit was in a state of high excitement, although the blood cloud kept roaring at Su Chen, it could not affect him in the slightest, but as the two of them stopped, the blood cloud above their heads became bigger and bigger, and it had gradually spread to the clouds and mist below the plank road.
And Meng Qishan on the side is even more so, holding a bloody stone in his hand. The oppression of the blood cloud and the blood stone on his mind can be described as extremely strong, but Meng Qishan was still unmoved, his watery eyes kept looking at the blood stone, as if he wanted to see it thoroughly.
After a while, Meng Qishan finally had other plans, only to see him put this blood stone into his arms, "Xiao Chen, this blood stone is related to my mission to Nanling this time, and when I get to Huangzhou, I will find out about this matter and return the blood stone to you?"
Looking at Meng Qishan with an inquiring look on his face, Su Chen hurriedly waved his hand, "It's okay Brother Meng, you can take the blood stone, it just so happens that you gave me a travelogue and a jade ruler, I can't repay it, you can take this blood stone." ”
Meng Qishan smiled, said no more, put away the blood stone, and said with a solemn expression: "This blood cloud seems to be able to stimulate the blood stone, there must be some connection between the two, but no matter what, we still have to go through the plank road first to ensure that we ......"
"Whew!"
Before Meng Qishan's words fell, suddenly the blood cloud above their heads condensed into a pair of blood claws, rushing towards Meng Qishan at great speed, and its target was the chest where Meng Qishan placed the blood stone.
Meng Qishan didn't expect that the blood cloud would change suddenly, he thought that the blood cloud was just disturbing people's souls, but he didn't expect it to be condensed into a real thing.
Meng Qishan is a cultivator in the end, although his cultivation does not exist, but this reaction is extremely fast, at the moment when the blood claw arrived, Meng Qishan's body twisted out a strange arc, narrowly avoiding the blow of the blood claw.
"Boom!"
Although the blood claw missed, it caught the plank road in front of him. The sturdy and abnormal plank road opened up by the Bishan Sect that he had said before was like a piece of paper under the blood claws, and it was ready to shatter as soon as he grabbed it.
Meng Qishan was shocked, he clearly knew that this plank road was made of fine iron by the Bishan faction, but it was not an ordinary stone, even if he was in his heyday, he would not destroy the plank road so easily.
But there is no time for him to think, the plank road is one, and a break is like a gap in the giant embankment, and it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed.
"Xiaochen go quickly, the plank road is about to be unbearable. ”
Meng Qishan turned around and yelled at Su Chen, jumped suddenly, and landed steadily in front of the gap, but Su Chen stood in front of the gap a little dazed, and was destroyed by the sharp claws of nearly a zhang of the plank road, and Su Chen couldn't cross it anyway.
Su Chen's expression was frightened, standing in front of the gap with his feet moving forward for a while and retreating for a while, but he couldn't jump out from beginning to end.
The blood claw seemed to have become smarter, and after a short pause, it launched another attack, but this time the target was Su Chen.
"Jump!"
Meng Qishan looked anxious and roared, but Su Chen still couldn't help shaking his head, looking at the gap in front of him, he couldn't take that step.
"Bang!"
Su Chen didn't have Meng Qishan's skills, so naturally he couldn't dodge the attack of the bloody hand, the blood claw slapped heavily on Su Chen's chest, and Su Chen instantly spewed out a mouthful of blood and then flew out.
"It's ......"
Meng Qishan was shocked, he didn't expect Su Chen to be able to withstand this blow, Su Chen, who was falling in the air, slipped out of his arms with a jade ruler, and there was a milky white halo on the jade ruler, and the halo contained the four big words "There is a saint in the world", firmly blocking the next attack of the blood claw.
"Say what you say?"
Meng Qishan didn't have time to observe, and suddenly a huge suction force appeared in the abyss under the clouds, tearing down the upside-down Su Chen.
"No ......"
Meng Qishan was in a hurry, couldn't take care of it, and jumped down without hesitation in the direction of Su Chen's fall, and was also pulled into the abyss by this suction.
At the last glance before Su Chen fell into a coma, he saw a cyan light under the abyss rushing straight into the clouds......
There is an endless mountain peak at the junction of Nanling and Huangzhou, and the interior view of the mountain is difficult to see its whole picture at the foot of the mountain.
Su Chen and Meng Qishan fell from the side of Zhenling Mountain, thinking that it was a certain death, but to their surprise, when the two of them landed, a cyan light dragged them back, allowing them to escape.
"This ...... Where is this ......?"
Half an hour later, Su Chen gradually woke up, he slowly opened his eyes, and found himself in a huge basin, surrounded by Zhenling Mountain on all sides.
"Xiaochen, are you awake?"
Meng Qishan, who was waiting for Su Chen on the side, had a happy voice on his face, and gently helped Su Chen up.
The wound on Su Chen's chest had been bandaged by Meng Qishan, but the shock of the lungs caused by the huge impact force would not be better for a while, Su Chen coughed twice, looked at Meng Qishan and lowered his head and blamed himself: "I'm sorry, Brother Meng, it's all my fault." ”
"Xiaochen, it's okay. Meng Qishan comforted softly, "I didn't expect that there is a cave under Zhenling Mountain, if it weren't for Xiaochen, we would never have found this place." ”
"When we fell from Zhenling Mountain, I saw a blue light holding us up, and it saved our lives. If what I expected is correct, this blue light should be related to the previous Taoist temple. ”
Following Meng Qishan's gaze, Su Chen really vaguely saw a Taoist temple in the north, only about a few hundred steps away, and the Taoist temple was surrounded by clouds and mist, which also added a bit of Taoist charm to it.
Meng Qishan supported Su Chen and slowly walked towards the Taoist temple, whether he was recuperating from his injuries or wanted to leave this place, he should go to the Taoist to see what was going on.
Approaching the front of the view, the two were able to see the whole picture of the Taoist temple, the Taoist temple is not big, the length and width are not more than three zhang, and even compared with the tea shop of the Qing shopkeeper, it is much smaller.
"This temple must have been around for some years. Meng Qishan looked at the mossy and ruins on the wall of the Taoist temple, and muttered in a low voice.
"Hmm!" Su Chen nodded, and then he moved his gaze to the front of the Taoist temple to see if he could find a record of the Taoist temple, as a scholar, Su Chen had a keen intuition about words.
"True God?"
Finally, Su Chen vaguely recognized the name of the Taoist temple from the plaque that was almost unrecognizable.
"Huh?" Meng Qishan hurriedly came over, also recognized it for a long time, and found that it was the same as what Su Chen saw, he lowered his head and pondered, "In Taoist practice, people practice with a pure heart for nothing, how can they take such a big name?"
"Maybe it's because Nanling is a land of mountains and wilderness, and the name of the Lord of the Gods should be to deter the surrounding evil ......."
Su Chen and the others thought for a long time, but they didn't have an answer, so they had to give up and go straight to the view.
The inside of the True God Temple looks even more dilapidated than the outside of the view, and the only statue of Dao Zun in the view is out of the eyes, and the whole body is covered with cracks, as if it will collapse at any time.
Meng Qishan walked to the front of the view, bowed his hands, and regarded it as a Taoist Zun enshrined in this view to show respect, although he didn't know which Taoist Zun was enshrined in this true god view, he Taihemen was the head of the world's cultivation sects, and there were countless Taoist Zuns, all of whom Meng Qishan knew everything about it, but there was no Taoist Zun enshrined here.
Meng Qishan saluted to the statue of Daozun, because the two of them originally belonged to the same Daomen, but Su Chen was different, for the Confucian students of the Southern Tang Dynasty, only the Confucian saint saw the ear, so when Meng Qishan saluted, Su Chen avoided and looked at other places in his Taoist temple......
"Hey, how can there be so many bloody stones here?"
