Chapter 4 The Tao is immortal, but it is said that life and death

Since the book of heaven appeared, the Daomen of this world has endured for a long time. In the homes of ordinary people, if someone enters the Taoist gate and becomes a Taoist priest, in the eyes of the neighbors, it is a fairy fate and is expected to become an immortal. Although the three religions are now divided, Confucianism and Buddhism are also prosperous, but compared with the sanctification of words and the blessing of the next life, the Taoist cultivation of immortality in this life is more desirable, so the respect of Taoists in the world is not comparable to Confucianism and monks.

Jiangzhou, Jiangcheng

Chen Mo himself is not clear, obviously the death of the Zhong family should be on himself, but he didn't do anything, the Zhong family collapsed by himself, the eldest son of the Zhong family was robbed on the way back, the news just reached the Zhong family, the old man didn't come up in one breath and went down to find his son, this Zhong family has been passed down for several generations, and when he arrived at this Zhong eldest son, he is such a lone seedling, and this Zhong eldest son lingers in the arms of the Qinglou singer all day long, although he has married several concubines in a row, but there is no child. The old and young masters all lost their lives in one day, and the subordinates below also had no ideas, and even Zhong Li, who brought Chen Mo over, had no mind to take care of Chen Mo, and was busy collecting a few valuable things. Chen Mo saw that no one cared about him, although he had the intention of finding out, but his stomach was not angry, he hadn't eaten anything for a day, and he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, so he left Zhongfu by himself and returned to his temporary residence, a ruined temple in the east of the city. It is said that it is the east of the city, but in fact, there is a distance from the river city, there are twenty or thirty miles, and there are no people around, it is really deserted!

It's just that today Chen Mo entered the broken temple, but found that there are more differences here, this broken temple was actually occupied by others, and when Chen Mo entered the temple gate, he saw that the man was wearing a cyan robe, but this robe was stained with a lot of blood, his face was pale without a trace of blood, leaning under the Buddha statue, his eyes were closed, and even his few locks of long hair were stained with blood at this time, sticking together.

Seeing that this person was strange, Chen Mo wanted to take a closer look, although he was already lying here, but everything had to be said to come first and then come, this place was obviously occupied by himself, and this person didn't come here to worship a pier first, so he stayed here privately. If it weren't for the fact that he was injured, he would have been thrown out long ago. It's just that Chen Mo didn't expect that although this person was seriously injured and unconscious, his vigilance did not decrease at all, and before Chen Mo approached, this person had already opened his eyes, looked at Chen Mo very vigilantly and asked, "Who are you and why are you here?"

"Uh...... I want to ask you. Seeing that you look like a master, how can this be in this broken temple?" Chen Mo replied when he saw this.

"Ahem..... Tang Ao in Xialonghu Mountain, only because of this time down the mountain, he was victimized by the villain, and his injuries were quite serious, so he rested here, and I hope to forgive me for the offense" The man said, his tone was low, and he listened to the voice as if time was running out.

"Longhu Mountain?"

"Yes, it is Yuzhou Longhu Mountain. Ahem... I didn't ask the little brother how to call him. ”

"Chen Mo, the words are white. ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Tang Ao frowned slightly, as if he was thinking, looked at Chen Mo carefully for a while, and then said: "I look at the little brother's muscles and bones, have you ever cultivated the Dao Law, or is it a person who practices martial arts?"

When Chen Mo heard this, he not only smiled: "I have also read a few Taoist classics, as for martial arts, it is just some local styles." ”

"Hey, if it weren't for the injury this time, I would have wanted to ask for advice. At this time, Tang Ao's face was suddenly not as pale as before, his complexion was ruddy, but it was floating outward, just like the red makeup of those women, and his voice was no longer as low as before, but although it was loud, he couldn't hear a trace of neutrality from it.

Seeing this, Chen Mo sighed: "Everything in the world depends on fate, what a pity." ”

"Brother Chen is living transparently, but Tang's life is short, but he has a big task to do, and he is inevitably uneasy. ”

"The predecessors are Taoist masters, how can they be like ordinary people, although the Taoist cultivation is determined to live forever, but it also needs a Taoist heart to guard, how can you mess up the Taoist heart before life and death. ”

When Tang Ao heard this, his face became a little ruddy, he thought about it for a while, his right hand reached into his arms, as if he had touched something, his hands were forced, he held the thing in his arms tightly, and did not take it out, but looked up at Chen Mo and said, "Little brother knows what I did when I went down the mountain this time." ”

"If you're not mistaken, it's for the sake of what you have in your arms. ”

"Huh...... The little brother is really smart, yes, it is for the sake of this thing in my arms. The little brother can recognize it. Tang Ao said, then took out the thing in his arms and handed it to Chen Mo, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a piece of yellow silk.

Chen Mo took this piece of yellow silk, stretched it out, and took a closer look, this piece of yellow silk was about three feet square, there was no text on it, just depicting these patterns, some of which were the meridians of the human body, some of which were the veins of flowers and trees, and some of which looked very mysterious, making it impossible to tell what was being drawn. Chen Mo looked at it for a while, as if he was distracted, his eyes lost their brilliance, and he just stared at the pattern on the yellow silk. Tang Ao was even more overjoyed when he saw this, but this time his face suddenly became pale, and his face was ruddy. After a long while, Chen Mo suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly took his gaze back from the yellow silk, and refolded the yellow silk into the size of a handkerchief, handed it to Tang Ao, and said: "Forgive me for being ignorant, I really don't know how low this thing is." ”

Seeing this, Tang Ao stretched out his hand and did not take the piece of yellow silk, but instead pushed it back to Chen Mo, and said, "No, you know, you must know." ”

Seeing this, Chen Mo knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said, "This should be one of the nine volumes of heavenly books. ”

"Oh, yes, I just want to get this thing when I go down the mountain this time to revitalize my Longhu Mountain, but who knows that I will suffer this catastrophe. I know that little brother, you are not an extraordinary person, and when you are dying, you have something to entrust you, I don't know if it is possible?"

"What?"

"Ahem...... After I died, I also asked my brother to cremate my bones and bring them back to Longhu Mountain, and I don't have anything at the moment, so I will give you this book of heaven and my sword. With that, Tang Ao handed the long sword wrapped in gray cloth beside him to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo frowned slightly, sighed in his heart, took the yellow silk in his hand into his arms, took the long sword, and agreed.

"If you go up to Longhu Mountain, the people on the mountain will not be trusted except for Zhang Zhao, and you must beware of Yue Changping. ”

"Yes. After speaking, Chen Mo saw that there was still hesitation in Tang Ao's eyes, so he said, "If there is anything else to say, let's say it together." ”

"Little brother is a man from the mountain?" asked Tang Ao.

"Yes, I'm in the mountains. ”

"Hahaha..... Sure enough, the heavens will not kill me. ”

......

Proud of the dragon and tiger, the Tao Changsheng is said to be life and death.
