Chapter Forty-Nine: Please Stop Before the Immortal Stone

The voice behind him seemed to be an alarm bell ringing in Zhong Ming's ears, he suddenly woke up, only to feel a shock in front of his eyes, and when he came back to his senses, there was no golden fairy song and dance in front of him, only the person who bowed and the strange stone remained.

And behind Zhong Ming, it was the little Taoist priest he met in the teahouse that day.

The shabby but clean Taoist robe, carrying a rattan box, the handsome little Taoist priest did not change much as he saw that day.

Zhong Ming turned his head to see the little Taoist priest, and said in surprise: "Little Taoist priest, is it you?"

The little Taoist priest smiled, as if he had expected Zhong Ming's reaction, made a gesture, and replied: "Zhong Jushi, my master calculated that you have a catastrophe today, let Xiao Dao come to help you." ”

Zhong Ming didn't make a sound, staring at the little Taoist priest and looking at it.

This little Taoist priest and the old Taoist priest are mysterious, just as Mr. Guo said that day, this side is going to be chaotic, and there will be many strange people, who told Zhong Ming not to associate with those people, so as not to get involved in right and wrong.

After thinking for a moment, Zhong Ming couldn't make up his mind, and he didn't know whether to take the words of this little Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest entangled himself tightly that day, just to tell himself that he was "rootless duckweed floating for zero life"?

Obviously, these Taoist priests will not be so kind, they must have a plan, as for what they fancy Zhong Ming, Zhong Ming can't guess for the time being.

Just as Zhong Ming hesitated, the little Taoist priest stepped forward and said: "Zhong Jushi, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, the Linxian Stone is extremely corrosive to people's spiritual qi, we should leave this place as soon as possible and talk to Zhong Jushi in detail." ”

The little Taoist priest should have seen Zhong Ming's hesitation, and said with a smile: "Zhong Jushi can come with me, the master is waiting for you in the village." ”

After finishing speaking, the little Taoist priest no longer persuaded Zhong Ming, raised his hand and stuffed a small black pill into his mouth, turned around and ran in the direction of Mud Village.

The little Taoist priest ran extremely fast, no worse than a horse, and the whole person turned into a phantom, and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.

Sure enough, there is something strange, this little Taoist priest probably used some kind of Taoism to run so fast.

Zhong Ming frowned slightly, he turned over and got on the horse, and before leaving, he turned his head to look at the boulder engraved with the word Linxian, and in a trance, Zhong Ming's ears heard the sound of fairy music, and the golden word was about to twist again.

Zhong Ming quickly closed his eyes and turned his head, not daring to look at the Lin Xian Stone again.

Although I don't know what the little Taoist priest's intention is, but this near the immortal stone is unbearable, Zhong Ming shook his head and muttered to himself: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, okay, let me go to meet the old Taoist." ”

Thinking of this, Zhong Ming no longer hesitated, turned the horse's head, and rode towards the silt village.

Huoyun was urged forward by Zhong Ming, and rushed to the entrance of the mud village to slow down the horse's speed, and when Zhong Ming returned to the village at this time, he felt that it was different from when he left, and the village returned to the noise of the past.

Zhong Ming turned over and dismounted, and then led the horse to the front of the Sun family's courtyard, and saw a group of villagers surrounding the Sun family's courtyard.

Are the sick villagers all right?

Zhong Ming was surprised and even more full of doubts, he hurriedly led the horse to the small courtyard of the Sun family, and when he passed by, Erniu saw Zhong Ming returning, and hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Zhong is back, let everyone let!"

The villagers hurriedly made way for Zhong Ming to enter the courtyard of the Sun family.

The greetings continued one after another, Zhong Ming didn't have the heart to deal with it, nodded casually and handed over the reins in his hand to Fei Dacheng, and walked into the small courtyard of the Sun family.

I saw that there were two Taoist priests standing in the courtyard at this time, it was the blind old Taoist and the little Taoist priest, the old Taoist priest was sitting on the rattan chair that Old Man Sun usually liked to sit on, and the little Taoist priest was holding a porcelain bottle in his hand and distributing pills to the villagers.

When Carpenter Li saw Zhong Ming coming back, he walked up to Zhong Ming with the robe on his shoulders and said, "Today is lucky, it happened that Zhang Daochang traveled here and rescued the poisoned villagers with pills. ”

Zhong Ming opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but he had a lot of doubts in his heart, but he didn't know where to start.

Carpenter Li was probably tired, and he didn't see Zhong Ming's embarrassed expression, turned around and walked out, and said: "Sun Lizheng has woken up and is resting in the house, you go and take a look, since Zhang Daochang has been detoxified, you don't have to run around, it's better to ask for others than for yourself, you go to the city to ask for that group of rich and noble people, and people may not help you." ”

Carpenter Li had something to say in this, and he broke through the process of Zhong Ming's begging for someone with a single word, and he seemed to have guessed those things a long time ago.

But Zhong Ming was so confused at this time, how could he have the heart to guess the word puzzle with Carpenter Li, nodded and walked towards the house.

Zhong Ming walked into the house quickly, Old Man Sun was sitting on the edge of the bed drinking hot soup at this time, Sun Luolian was waiting beside him, Old Man Sun's face was much better, but he looked a little tired.

Zhong Ming hurriedly walked up and said, "Uncle Sun, you're fine." ”

"Xiao Zhong, I'm fine, I don't know what kind of plague god I provoked yesterday, I actually let the villagers suffer a serious illness together, if it weren't for Zhang Daochang's elixir, we are afraid that we would all die. ”

Old man Sun held the hot soup, sighed for a while, then blew the hot air, and began to drink the soup with a bowl of soup.

The strange illness made Old Man Sun consume a lot of energy, his body was weak and cold, and drinking a bowl of hot soup just warmed his body.

Zhong Ming was also not bothered, so he sat on the bench and turned his head to look at the two Taoist priests in the courtyard.

The blind old Taoist priest is still wearing the shabby and greasy robe, the old god is lying on the rattan chair on the ground, as if he is recuperating his gods, his eyes are hollow, coupled with a withered face, messy white beard, more evil than the evil ghost, very scary.

The little Taoist priest is an enthusiastic lord, seeing that everyone is smiling, coupled with his good-looking face, and from time to time provoke the little widow in the village to laugh twice, the shy little Taoist priest immediately blushed.

The two Taoist priests who were strange and didn't know their origins, Zhong Ming's eyes narrowed, and he had a lot of thoughts.

Sun Luolian came to Zhong Ming's side at some point, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Brother Zhong, do you want to eat a bowl of rice soup too?"

This question disrupted Zhong Ming's thoughts, and he suddenly came back to his senses and smiled at the little girl, only then did he remember that he had not eaten since he got up, and he was already hungry, so he said: "Give me a bowl too, I was so busy asking for medicine that I forgot to eat." ”

Sun Luolian snickered, and brought Zhong Ming a big bowl full of rice soup, naturally there was more rice and less soup, and she also brought him a small piece of pickled wild vegetables.

When Zhong Ming began to drink the rice soup, Sun Luolian asked cautiously, "Brother Zhong, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, made by Xiaolian, it's naturally delicious. ”

Seeing Zhong Ming praising with his thumb, the little girl immediately smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and her little face was full of the word satisfaction.

Here, Sun Luolian stared at Zhong Ming stupidly, and the old man Sun probably couldn't stand it, coughed, and said, "Xiaolian, give grandpa another bowl." ”

Sun Luolian hurriedly answered the call to take the soup bowl in Old Man Sun's hand, and Zhong Ming was also eating about the same at this time, he raised his head, and he didn't have the heart to eat, so he asked: "Uncle Sun, where did the two Taoist priests in that courtyard come from?"

Speaking of the two Taoist priests, Old Man Sun hurriedly patted the back of his head and replied, "Speaking of these two people, I forgot to tell you."

Two days ago, I didn't want to invite the Taoist of the Qingming sacrifice, I searched all over the city, and I didn't find anyone who could do the law, and it happened that I heard that there were two Taoist people who traveled in the broken temple in the west of the city, so I went to take a look, and I found these two Taoist leaders.

These two Taoist chiefs are not such charlatans, they are the real Longmen Mountain Zhang Daozu, and the Taoist of the first city to break the temple in the west of the same line, coincided with the peaceful and prosperous era, so they thought of living in seclusion and inheriting the Taoist temple.

This is not an appointment for today's Qingming sacrifice, it seems that this year is not good, our village coincides with this epidemic disaster, the Taoist chief said that this year is not a good year for the sacrifice, or change to the next year. ”

Listening to Old Man Sun start to talk about the sacrifice again, Zhong Ming lost interest, he lowered his head and thought about what Old Man Sun said just now.

From what I said just now, I can hear that these two old Taoist priests are also from Longmen Mountain.

Zhong Ming has also heard a lot of rumors about Longmen Mountain, which is because after Longmen Mountain lived in the broken temple in the west of the city, those Taoists preached the scriptures and preached, and they also told some stories about Longmen Mountain.

Longmen Mountain is located in the southwest of the new Tang Dynasty, the mountain is steep, there is a waterfall on the side of the mountain, the waterfall that towers into the clouds seems to fall from nine days, it is rumored that the spiritual koi will swim against this waterfall every ten years, but where there is a koi carp can cross the waterfall, swim into the Chengjiao pond on the top of the mountain, it is the carp leaping over the dragon gate, a leap into the dragon, so this mountain also gets its name from this, it is Longmen Mountain.

Longmen Mountain is inhabited by a group of the most famous Taoist priests before the Heavenly Split, which is the Danding faction after the Taoist ancestor Zhang Daoling.

Taoist ancestor Zhang Daoling is a native of this era of Taoism, it is rumored that when Zhang Daoling enlightened the Tao, the heaven and the earth changed color, holding the Taoist sword to ask for it, a sword asked the sky, because the thunder fell to the ground, on the boulder hit a "Dao" word, so that the body became an immortal.

Zhang Daoling was just over 80 years old that year, and he was in his old age.

It was also from that year that Zhang Daoling used the lightning strike stone as the mountain gate and established the Danding faction in Longmen Mountain.

Zhang Daofu has passed more than 180 years old, and the Danding faction has been in his hands for a hundred years, growing stronger and stronger, and after a hundred years, it is also thriving, and it is still the state religion of Qianchen in the most prosperous period.

The former Chen Chen Gaozu had always believed in religion, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he established the Danding faction as the state religion.

It's just that with the collapse of the former Chen court, the country also changed hands, and the Danding faction collapsed.

A few days ago, the New Tang Dynasty was not allowed to build obscene shrines without permission, let alone preach privately, and the Danding faction fell into an unprecedented crisis for thousands of years, and it was not possible to be suppressed, and now those old Taoist priests should have a very hard time.

Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for Taoist priests from Longmen Mountain to come out in all directions to find some remote places to survive.

Slowly tapping on the table, Zhong Ming could understand a little why these two people came to the border, after all, there was a Taoist temple they had established before, and it was still somewhat foundational.

Just as Zhong Ming was thinking, Fei Dacheng stepped into the house, and shouted in his mouth, "The two Taoist masters come in with me, and I will pour a cup of tea for the two of them." ”

It turned out that the little Taoist priest had finished distributing the pills, and Fei Dacheng was introducing the two into the house.

The handsome little Taoist priest helped the blind old Taoist priest, and the two came to the house to sit down, the old Taoist priest slowly put his hands into his sleeves, turned his empty eye frame to Zhong Ming, showed a terrifying smile, and said: "Zhong Jushi, we are very fateful, and we have met again." ”
