Chapter 586: The Mystery of the Cause of Death

Luling is the Ji'an of later generations, its history is extremely long, there are poems to praise and say: "The towering city is Guo Kuo, Luling is half Suzhou". The culture here is developed, and it is famous for "three thousand Jinshi crown Huaxia, and the article is written in the Spring and Autumn Period", and there are more "a door of nine jinshi, father and son to explore the flower champion, uncle and nephew list to explore the flower, two prime ministers across the river, five miles and three champions, nine sons and ten Zhizhou, ten miles and nine politics, one hundred steps and two books. Such a reputation.

Because of the prosperity of humanity here, so the great prosperity of Buddhism, the influence of Luling is also very extensive, Zen Buddhism, Pure Land Buddhism carry forward here, only Yonghe a town, there are Baoshou Temple, Zhidu Temple, Huideng Temple, Ancient Buddha Temple, Benjue Temple, Shou Yue Zhai and other more than ten big temples, Luling has more than Bao'an Temple, Jingju Temple, Longxu Mountain Ziguo Temple, Heshan Dazhi Temple and other monks more than 2,000 famous temples, can be called far-reaching.

In contrast, the Xuanmen here is extremely weak, there are scattered Meixi Temple, Chongxu Temple, Chongdao Temple, Wuyun Temple and other Taoist temples scattered in Luling, but the incense is not prosperous, there are few believers, only the Xiajiang Yuzhi Mountain gathers more than ten Taoist temples of a certain scale in large and small to form a gas, and strive to support. The Lingxian Sect, which has only one teacher, one apprentice, and one incense veteran, is located at the foot of the mountain.

In such a treacherous place, it is extremely rare to be able to produce a person as powerful as Yu Zhenzi. It is also the existence of Yu Zhenzi that supports the last sky of Luling Daomen, and struggles to resist under the weight of many famous temples and temples, and insists on standing.

Such a respectable Xuanmen sage actually went like this?

On the way to Luling, Xiao Qianli repeatedly thought about Fang Shaobai's short words, "Soldiers return to heaven" are just four words, but they have far-reaching meanings - according to Taoism, all mortal deaths are called autopsy, drowning is called hydrolysis, knife cutting is called military liberation, and so on. If it is a normal old death, it is regarded as jumping out of the cycle of life and death, and it is called feathering and ascending to immortals.

"Yu Zhenzi is a martial arts master with a lot of Taoism, there are very few people in the world who can defeat him head-on, and the respect of his seniority is even on par with the hidden Taoist, who dares to risk the disapproval of the world and dare to attack him?"

"The decay of the Luling Daomen is extreme, if it weren't for the hard support of Yu Zhenzi, it would have been swallowed by the Buddha and the bones would have been gone, and now that Yu Zhenzi is gone, no one in Luling can resist the pervasive encroachment of Buddhism!"

Thinking of this festival, Xiao Qianli couldn't help but speed up and urge the giant eagle to hurry, a journey of more than 4,000 miles, and arrived without sleep for two days and two nights.

Xiajiang Yudi Mountain is also called the group of jade mountains, the mountains are full of ancient trees and forests, heavy covering, the four seasons are like spring, and the clear spring flows for a long time. From north to south, there are 32 peaks such as covered box, Taibai, Yuanyang, and sending immortals, all of which are like cutting jade and dyeing Dai, Lingyun Moxiao. At the foot of the mountain, there are six stones such as Zixiao, Xianren, Wenjian, Tai, Crane, Turtle, etc., or Zhong Lingyuxiu, or abrupt and strange cliffs, or tigers standing on the dragon pan, the forms are different and show strange and ingenious. The Ling Immortal Sect is located on the edge of the Immortal Stone.

At this time, there are already a lot of Taoist priests standing inside and outside the Lingxian Taoist Temple, one by one with a solemn expression, the spirit shed is set up outside the temple, dozens of Taoist priests sit in the spirit shed, and they all chant the "Cave Xuan Lingbao Natural Nine Heavenly Divine Chapter Sutra", an incense old Taoist kneeling with tears, burning yellow paper outside the spirit shed, the breeze blows, the paper ash swirls and flies, and it adds countless desolate meanings.

Hearing a crisp eagle chirping in mid-air, several Taoist priests who were responsible for maintaining order looked up, only to see a giant eagle slowly descending, and on the back of the eagle stood a young Taoist dressed in Confucian Taoist robes, carrying a long sword, rich and handsome. When an old Taoist stepped forward, he shook the dust, said that he was blessed with immeasurable life, and said in a loud voice: "Which Taoist friend is here?"

"Pure Yang Palace, Xiao Qianli!" Xiao Qianli dropped the eagle's back, ran forward in a few steps, and the chief inspector solemnly returned the salute and said in a deep voice, "Dare to ask Brother Dao, what happened to the Ling Immortal Sect?"

The guest was greeted by just an ordinary Taoist, and there was not much martial arts, and he didn't know anything about the famous Chunyang Palace, and the person who came was a genuine Xuanmen person, thinking that he had heard the news and came to mourn, and immediately saluted: "It turned out to be Xiao Daoyou in person! The good Taoist learned that this person who was killed was a highly respected and virtuous person of Luling Daomen, but he didn't know what kind of powerful opponent he provoked, and he died in vain." ”

Xiao Qianli also knew that he couldn't ask a reason here, so he nodded silently and asked, "Dare to ask where Fang Shaobai is now?"

The old Taoist smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "According to the rules of my Xuanmen, all those who are relieved by the military need to do the Dharma, release the prison, worship the three Qings, break the sea of blood, and then cremate into the earth, and then the first seven, thirty-seven, and seven-seven will be done for three days in a row. Shaobai is about to be overly sad, these days he is just guarding the remains of Yuzhen's predecessors, and he refuses to be cremated, and we can't. ”

Xiao Qianli's expression moved, and he saluted: "And there is Brother Lao Dao to lead the way!"

The old Taoist nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist, please come with me-"

Xiao Qianli followed the old way into the spirit shed, and saw Fang Shaobai kneeling in front of the coffin, his face was sad, his expression was haggard, and his eyes were blank, just caressing the body of Yu Zhenzi with his hands over and over again, nourishing the body with true temperature, and keeping the body from breaking.

Seeing Fang Shaobai's sad appearance, Xiao Qianli sighed lightly, saluted the Taoist group who was chanting the scriptures, and said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoists, please rest for a while!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Fang Shaobai's distracted eyes suddenly bloomed with a hint of brilliance, turned his head, and shouted in a sad voice: "Master-" and couldn't say any more.

The dozens of Taoist priests stopped the scriptures and looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while. Fang Shaobai stood up, but he knelt for too long, and he was sad again, and he stumbled and almost fell.

He barely stood up straight, and said in a dumb voice: "You fellow Daoist Immortal Chiefs, this is my second master, this time I came here to give me a justice to Ling Xian, and I ask you to stay away for the time being, Shaobai is here to thank you!"

Yu Zhenzi is the only remaining innate power of the Luling Dao Sect, and Fang Shaobai is his only successor to the mantle, since this young Taoist is his second master, it is conceivable that he must be a few figures in the martial arts. All the Taoist priests were relieved, got up one after another, saluted Xiao Qianli, and then rushed out.

Only Xiao Qianli and Fang Shaobai were left in the spirit shed, and Fang Shaobai gave Xiao Qianli a big gift, and then said sadly: "Master, please come and see!"

His voice was hoarse, and he said slowly: "When the disciple found Master's body, it had been three or four days, and I am afraid that once he was cremated, he would never find any clues. Therefore, he refused to be cremated and buried, and he kept it in his original state with true warmth, hoping that the master could find out the cause of the master's death!"

Xiao Qianli stepped forward, and saw that Yu Zhenzi's voice was the same as before, lying quietly in the coffin, but it was as if he was asleep. After a slight groan, he reached out to untie his robe, and suddenly saw a black palm print on his chest.

Xiao Qianli was slightly stunned, reached out to pick up Yu Zhenzi's body, turned off his shirt, and saw at a glance that the skin behind him was abnormally twisted and folded, faintly revealing a purple-black color. couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted in a low voice: "Pierce the palm?"
