Chapter 208: Snow Mountain Shocks
"Brother Chu, what are you talking about?Do you have the opening token of the Spirit Sect?" Guanyue Xiaosheng was very surprised on the horse, it was the early morning of the next day, the five of them converged and rode in parallel, rushing to Changbai, on the way, I heard the scene last night, I couldn't help but be surprised, Chu Xunyu actually got the opening token of the Spirit Sect, which really made people unbelievable.
"It's true. Chu Xunyu nodded with a smile and took out the black token that Miss Wang gave him last night.
Guanyue Xiaosheng took it in his hand, took a closer look, and there was really one, but he saw that this token was full of patterns of hell ghosts and cannibals, and he tried it with aura, and sure enough, the token faintly contained a faint and broad atmosphere, although the Lingzong was mysterious, but as we all know, they started with Buddhism and turned into the devil's path. It is quite a feeling that the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo gave up his life to enter the Abi Hell and bravely crossed the three thousand evil ghosts, which is that the so-called Hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha. The same is true of the Lingzong, with the supreme Dharma to experience the suffering of the demons, it can be regarded as a different way, supreme mystery.
"Oh, then again. Chu Xunyu looked at Guanyue Xiaosheng suspiciously, "Brother Guanyue, when I was removing the dream sin for that woman last night, I faintly felt that the exercise seemed to come from the Killing Dream Sect, so I asked more, do you know which disciple under the Killing Dream Sect did it? This kind of behavior, as one of the four sects and four sects of the dignified Demon Dao, is too self-deprecating. ”
"Oh?" said the moon-gazing little student, "can you really see it?"
"Yes. Chu Xunyu nodded, "I think that on the rivers and lakes, there is nothing more bothering people with dreams than Killing Dreams, so I am very puzzled in my heart, you must know that although Killing Dreams Gate is a demonic way, but flirting with a mortal woman, and also using more yin hands, this kind of behavior is not like the behavior of a famous family like them." ”
"The leper monk you mentioned, he is not a person who kills dreams, he is not worthy. Mei Wan shook her head with a smile on the horse behind her, "Senior Brother Chu, do you know that there is a leper monk on the rivers and lakes who specializes in doing the lowest paths, swaggering and deceiving everywhere, stealing other exercises, and has bad manners and filthy conduct?"
"Ah, is he?" Chu Xunyu was stunned for a moment, now he knew in his heart, he had also heard of such a number one person.
Mu Yuan was anxiously scratching his ears and cheeks behind him, he liked this kind of scoundrel the most, and hurriedly stretched out his head and asked Chu Xunyu: "Hey, who is he? Who is he?"
Chu Xunyu shook his head helplessly, and said a rough idea, don't say it, this leper monk is really a "character", and he is extremely notorious. The origin of this monk is varied, and there are different theories, but the most common one is that he was originally an outsider, who hung a big iron chain and ran around to perform his art, and by the way he bought some dog skin stick plaster.
Later, somehow, he stumbled into the cultivation realm by mistake, as if he was the heir of some kind of Western Regions scattered cultivation, the cultivation realm is not high, and the means are not enough, it can be seen that his master is estimated to be a second knife. But this leper monk's behavior is really a "superb", after the master died, no one was in charge, and he started stealing chickens and dogs again, but this time he deceived people in the cultivation realm.
Using his methods of roosters and dogs, he specially fooled the low-level disciples of those famous sects, and deceived a lot of low-level exercises of various sects, he was also bold, and practiced blindly with his eyes closed, and he would be better, but fortunately, it was not a mystical method, and his luck was good, and he really knew a lot of superficial spells.
This person is also careful, he knows that he has committed the taboo of the cultivation realm, so he often deceives some strange tricks on the front foot, and runs to the mortals on the back foot to mess around, three rats and two dogs, specializing in these dirty deeds, what is molesting women from good families, digging up the grave of the household, kicking the widow's door, anyway, these indiscriminate actions, he is an all-rounder. However, the existence of such a character has never become a climate, he has never provoked powerful people in the cultivation realm, at most it is petty theft, and those famous factions will not care about these chickens and dogs, so over time, he has become a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes.
After Mu Yuan knew this allusion, he was actually very interested, applauded and laughed: "Haha! Interesting, interesting, when I bump into him when I turn around, I will definitely put him down!"
Chu Xunyu glanced at him, too lazy to be verbose, and asked Guanyue Xiaosheng again: "Brother Guanyue, have you heard any news about the Spirit Sect during this time?"
"The situation is not very rosy. Guanyue Xiaosheng was also very helpless, but at the same time, he felt a little unusual, "We have sent many disciples to investigate, but, it is very strange that right here, the people of the Spirit Sect were already very obscure, and now there is no trace of them, just a joke." ”
"What?
"Yes, the last time someone from the Spirit Sect appeared, it was the departure of the Hideous, and this is the only time. ”
"But it's a strange thing. Chu Xunyu already sensed that something was wrong, "By the way, when did they lose the news?"
"No one knows. Guanyue Xiaosheng said that he couldn't do anything, "They usually don't show up much, and no one knows when they disappeared." ”
"This is evil. Mu Yuan asked, "Ye Langzhong, have you been to that area?" It seems that the situation in the past is definitely not good this time, you can introduce it first, and we can have a preparation." ”
Chu Xunyu nodded: "Let's brainstorm, let me tell you what I know first, and any of you can add if you have ideas." ”
Changbai Mountain originates from the translation of Jurchen language, also called Baitou Mountain, in the place of bitter cold all year round, the magic is that there is a hot volcano inside, but the scenery is very beautiful, the world has a poem to praise and say: "The snow for thousands of years is the pine of the year, straight to the first peak in the world." This mountain range covers a wide area, which is prolific and rare mountain goods, such as mink, deer antler, ginseng and so on, are all produced there.
Because it is in the Northeast, there are many ethnic groups at the foot of the mountain, such as Jurchen, Oroqen, Kazakh, Hezhe, etc., the way of behavior is different from that of the Central Plains people, and the language and living habits are also different. Where there are people, there are cultivators, and here is no exception, but they are also different from the cultivators in the Central Plains, because of their different religious beliefs, so they rarely practice Buddhism and Taoism, but practice "witches".
The word "witch" is very interesting, in the local area, they are very different because of the racial differences, the things of faith are also different, they have their own totems and spells, it is very profound and mysterious, the Central Plains region is used to call them "shamans", the names of various races are different, in the former Yuan and Mongolian periods, the Mongols called "Bo E", and later the Turks called "also Kezhe", the Turkish people called "Dharma Thorn" and so on.
And they do not shy away from mortals, often there are sorcerers who go deep into the fields to exorcise ghosts to mortals to perform rituals, in the past, the merchants of the Central Plains crossed the Shanhaiguan Pass to do business in the Northeast, dumping goods, often can see such a scene, jokingly called "jumping god". In fact, this is a derogatory term, but because these merchants go south and north more, this name is widely spread in the Central Plains.
Chu Xunyu was in the war between the two dynasties, fought there, once led five hundred elite horsemen to chase and kill a Yuanmeng mage, and later due to a misunderstanding, and the local shaman, knowing that those wizards' exercises are really weird, they like to use the power of nature, which is different from the Central Plains people, the Central Plains people pay attention to self-redemption, cultivate the truth, and practice the true self, but they think that man and nature can not be separated, to be integrated, it can be said that the cultural concept has fundamentally different differences.
For these areas, the people on the side of the soldiers in the Central Plains have the lowest evaluation, because the people of the soldiers have implemented the iron-blooded war policy in the Northeast in all dynasties, so the wizards are very unkind to see those people in the soldiers, and the Confucian people, because they believe in the Confucian thought of tolerance and inclusiveness, are much better in terms of courtesy.
For example, one of the eight juniors of the Central Plains, and at the same time as one of the four beauties of the rivers and lakes, the "Linshui Qingzhu" - Qingzhu Fairy, was born in the Pure Water Cold Moon Palace in the extremely cold land of Liaodong, in addition, there are a small number of other sects.
"Haha, so fun?" Mu Yuan listened with relish, and said with a look of longing, "I went to the mortal market to shop, buy a mink coat to wear, if you are lucky, go up the mountain, and dig up a thousand-year-old ginseng for me, it will be the best, of course, even if the antler velvet is forgotten, if you want to kill yourself, that's not good, but I don't know if anyone else has killed it, I'll buy it, it's not a broken ring, and ......"
"I mean, you're thinking pretty well. Chu Xunyu interrupted Mu Yuan's grand plan, "Bajie, when you arrive, don't mess around at will, this is no better than the Central Plains, poking out a big basket, I'm afraid it will be difficult to clean up." ”
"Don't worry, don't worry, you don't know who I am, when did you mess around. "Mu Yuan is so cheeky.
"The weather doesn't seem good. Chu Xunyu looked up at the sky, and there was a faint sign of snowfall, "We're going to speed up." ”
The five of them were walking on the official road, and suddenly a whistle sounded in the sky for no reason, and a golden point of light came quickly towards them, and the expressions of Xiaosheng and Mei Wan were shocked, and then Guanyue pinched the magic trick, and grabbed the thing that flickered in his hand, which turned out to be a bamboo slip, opened it, and immediately read it carefully.
"Senior Brother Guanyue, what's wrong?" Mei Wan's expression was also very serious, "I actually used the bamboo slips of the 'Golden Point Ming Whistle' in the division, did something terrible happen?"
Guanyue Xiaosheng's expression became more and more serious, and in the end, he was actually very surprised, after reading it, he quickly handed it to Mei Wan, and then turned back to everyone and said: "Everyone, we can't rush so slowly to find out the news of the rivers and lakes, Changbai Mountain is in trouble." ”
"What's going on?"
Guanyue Xiaosheng frowned: "Our Hongdaomen has sent a total of twelve disciples to keep an eye on several villages under the mountain, but in just ten days, there are ten people whose whereabouts are unknown, it is obvious that something happened, and the remaining two disciples have retreated to the nearest town to settle down, this is the bamboo slip they summoned to ask for assistance." ”
"Oh?" Chu Xunyu was stunned, "What? Did you say that there was a reason for the disappearance?"
"Nope. Guanyue shook her head, "It seems that they lost contact overnight, because the two of them arrived last, and before they entered the village, they found that their companions who came first were gone, so they quickly retreated, as if they also saw a shaman haunting the neighborhood." ”
"Shaman?" Mu Yuan said with a smile, "I really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and before the words fell, they came out." ”
"It's more than that. Guanyue Xiaosheng added, "There is also news that there is a woman who has never come out since she entered the village, and her body and demeanor are very similar to our old acquaintance, Senior Sister Shangqian of the Legalist Family!"
"Huh?" Mu Yuan screamed, "She's all here, what's the joke? It's not good, this matter is making a big fuss, hey, Ye Langzhong, you don't need to ride a horse to find out the news, just fly over." ”
"Okay, without further ado, hurry up, you must rescue Senior Sister Shang Qian!" Chu Xunyu immediately made a decision, and the five figures jumped up, abandoned their horses, and flew directly to the north, turning into several flickering points of light in the sky, and disappeared without a trace.
In the north, the vast snow-capped mountains and thousands of years of snow seem to be waiting for them......
