Chapter 43: The Fangshi

"What is this?"

Although he had already been mentally prepared, when Qin Bai followed Liu Tiannan and Grandpa Liu Qin to the mountain he had seen before, the scene in front of him shocked him again.

Because he actually saw a stone temple that was very similar to the mountain temple in Qinjiazhai, but compared with the mountain temple in Qinjiazhai, this mountain temple was obviously much smaller, that is, half a person high, similar to the mountain temple seen in the countryside.

But this mountain temple is also peculiar, it is dug into a black boulder the size of a truck, and only a small door is required for people to bend down to enter.

If Qin Bai could only faintly see the slightest hint of golden light at the entrance of the village, then at this time, when he stood in front of the mountain temple, he could clearly see the wisps of golden light from the statue of the human god.

Although it was faint, it was clearly visible, especially the ancient statue in the mountain temple, Qin Bai could even see the slightest hint of spiritual rhyme.

"There are really gods!" Although Qin Bai had long doubted this question, the scene in front of him was real evidence, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

But when his gaze saw the plaque above the statue again, the words on the plaque shocked Qin Bai again.

Broken Dragon Mountain Temple, the payment is the word Berwyn.

If it was just the word Berwyn, Qin Bai wouldn't think about it, but when he thought of Liujia Village under the mountain and the name of this mountain, Qin Bai couldn't help but think of Liu Bowen and Liu Tianshi, the national teachers of the Ming Dynasty who were like gods in the early Ming Dynasty, and his word happened to be Berwyn.

Qin Bai's gaze couldn't help but turn back to Liu Tiannan and Grandpa Liu Qin beside him, since the Wang family could be passed down from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the present, he didn't think that a god like Liu Bowen would have no descendants to pass on to the world.

It's just that he also has a suspicion that in addition to this mountain temple, this Liujia Mountain really doesn't seem to have any signs of the Heavenly Master's Taoism from other aspects.

"Mr. Qin, did you see the word Bowen?" Grandpa Liu Qin was very indifferent.

Qin Bai's face immediately showed a look of surprise, "Your Liu family is really the descendant of Liu Tianshi?"

Grandpa Liu Qin nodded and shook his head, and then said to himself: "Yes and no, my Liu Jiashan is just a brother of the Heavenly Master, otherwise I wouldn't be alive today." ”

Qin Bai has seen several books on Liu Bowen in the ancient books of Jiangcheng University, especially in the early Qing Dynasty, all of which say that Liu Bowen was later poisoned by Zhu Taizu, if this assertion is correct, it can indeed show the truth or falsehood of Grandpa Liu Qin's words.

At this time, Grandpa Liu Qin continued: "Mr. Qin, take a closer look and see if you can see the true mystery of this Liu Jiashan?"

Qin Bai was a little strange, but he still looked around, especially standing in this position and looking at the entire Liujia Mountain, it was completely different from the situation he saw at the foot of the mountain, this look, Qin Bai immediately saw the difference in this Liujia Mountain, especially at the back of this mountain temple, there was actually a huge crack that directly stretched into the mountain, only less than one meter wide.

The cold yin wind rushed out along the crack, if it weren't for the suppression of this mountain temple, Qin Bai was sure that the chill of this yin wind was very likely to be no less than the yin qi under Jianghai Square.

"Broken Dragon?" Qin Bai said thoughtfully, and the expression on his face couldn't help but change.

"This won't be the place where Liu Tianshi broke the dragon back then!" Qin Bai couldn't believe it.

Grandpa Liu Qin and Liu Tiannan glanced at each other, and then said with a sigh: "Master Qin is very capable. ”

"Is this really the place where Liu Tianshi broke the dragon back then?" Qin Bai looked at the ground crack over there that was only more than a meter wide, this ground crack looked inconspicuous from the surface, and it was really difficult to connect with the legend of the broken dragon.

Liu Tiannan said at this time: "Before, we were also struggling with which party to cooperate with, but we really can't keep this secret without cooperating with others, I don't know if Mr. Qin can solve the danger of this Broken Dragon Gorge." ”

"Back then, the ancestors left my Liu family vein because they thought that this dragon vein would recover one day, so I hope that we will disconnect it again when the dragon vein is likely to recover. ”

Qin Bai was stunned for a moment, "Why do you want to disconnect it, isn't it great that everyone can cultivate?"

Liu Tiannan and Grandpa Liu Qin glanced at each other, and then said with a bitter face: "We don't know, in short, the ancestral training handed down by the Liu family is to maintain this closed town, and there is only one sentence left that the saint is immortal, and the thief is not stopped."

Saying that, Liu Tiannan saw a stone wall in the mountain temple, and these big characters were clearly engraved on the stone wall, and these big characters were smeared with red cinnabar, even after hundreds of years, they were still as red as blood.

Qin Bai was all shocked by the statues and plaques before, and he didn't realize that there were still such a few words in this mountain temple.

He is also a college student, so he naturally knows the meaning of this sentence, but this sentence also has a different meaning, so he simply asked directly: "What does this mean?"

The sage is not only immortal and the thief, the origin of this sentence is said to be from Zhuangzi, but many ancient books also believe that the source of this sentence is far more than Zhuangzi, especially the word sage, there have always been different interpretations.

Old man Liu hesitated for a moment before replying: "What the ancestors left behind means that those who can use the dragon vein and dragon qi will not die, and ordinary people will not have a way to live, so the Heavenly Master and Ancestor assisted Emperor Zhu to become the emperor, and the old Emperor Zhu also promised to help the Heavenly Master dig up the dragon veins in the world after becoming emperor." ”

Qin Bai was stunned when he heard this, because it was said in history that Emperor Zhu ordered Liu Bowen to dig up the dragon veins in the world in order to protect his own eternal country.

Qin Bai looked at the immortality of the saint, and the thief couldn't help but lose his mind a little.

After an unknown amount of time, it wasn't until Qin Bai came back to his senses that he asked, "Then what do you want me to do for you?"

As he spoke, Qin Bai couldn't help but look at the crack known as the Broken Dragon Gorge, and at the same time glanced at the mountain god statue next to him, especially the dazzling aura on the god statue.

If the gods have spirits, then the statue in front of him may be a spirit god, although he guessed that the god statue in Qinjiazhai should also be spirited, but at least the god statue in front of him is the only one he has seen and determined with his own eyes that there is still a spirit.

Liu Tiannan and Old Man Liu glanced at each other, and Qin Bai couldn't understand the meaning inside, he hadn't refined it to such a status.

"If we want you to help you dig up the dragon veins again, would you be willing?"

After a long while, Old Man Liu said slowly.

Qin Bai looked at Old Man Liu a little strangely, but after thinking about it, he still nodded, and said, "Since I promised you, I will naturally do it, but I don't think that the dragon vein can be cut off like the beginning of the Ming Dynasty under the current situation, at least I don't have the ability of your ancestor Liu Tianshi." ”

Old man Liu glanced at Qin Bai deeply, and finally nodded and said, " At that time, the ancestor of my family's Heavenly Master thought that without saints such as Qi refiners, they would be able to be peaceful if they stirred up the world behind their backs, but in fact, there was never peace in later generations, and Emperor Zhu felt that without the dragon vein, no one would be able to take away his Zhu family's country, but in fact, Zhu Ming died in only three hundred years, so in my opinion, this dragon vein has nothing to do with the immortality of the saint and the immortality of the saint, and the non-theft of more than that, it is better to let the dragon vein recover, but the master, you can have the confidence to seal the town here, especially this Broken Dragon Gorge. ”

Qin Bai hesitated for a moment before asking, "Could it be that your Liu Tianshi really didn't have any inheritance left back then?"

The old man smiled bitterly, "Do you think that my Heavenly Master Ancestor is also a Qi Refiner or a Feng Shui Master?"

Qin Bai nodded, he was able to dig out the existence of the dragon vein, especially how could the legendary god-like Liu Bowen Liu Tianshi not be a qi refiner or a feng shui master.

"Then you can think wrong, my Heavenly Master Ancestor is not only not a Qi Refiner, nor is he a Feng Shui Master. ”

"What's that?" Qin Bai couldn't help but feel a little strange.

The old man hesitated for a while, and finally said with a wry smile: "Legend has it that the ancestor is a monk, a monk who was killed by the First Emperor in the Qin period. ”

Qin Bai was stunned, especially since this Fang Shi was still related to the First Emperor, that is, the ancestor of his Qin family, he couldn't help but be curious.

"What's the difference between a Fang Shi and a Qi Refiner?

Qin Bai had also seen some records about alchemists in ancient books, after all, Xu Fu could be said to be a famous alchemist in history, and even involved the legendary immortality.

It is difficult to be famous if you can have something to do with immortality, even if it is in later generations, in fact, there are records of Xu Fu and immortality in many ancient books.

After all, the most eternal pursuit of human beings is immortality.

However, since the Qin Dynasty, the records of Fang Shi have been mainly based on speculation, because the First Emperor was deceived by Xu Fu and is said to have killed almost all the Fang Shi.

It is said that the person who burned the book and burned the pit was the Fangshi, which is also the main reason why the Fangshi directly disappeared since the Qin Dynasty.
