Chapter 8: The Treasure of the Shangqing Dynasty (2)
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Yiwen was led by a Taoist boy to a majestic treasure temple. At the end of the wide bluestone square, you can see a majestic main hall, with heavy eaves and golden tiles, which is magnificent, and there is a bell tower next to each other. In front of the main hall in the middle, there are two unicorn stone statues that are high, which looks solemn and majestic.
The two walked towards the main hall, while Liu Yiwen looked around. There is a row of verdant cypresses on the left and right of the square, and the stone steps are spotlessly cleaned, although they are somewhat old.
The carved railings of the treasure hall in front of him are majestic and exquisite, and Liu Yiwen can't help but stop and watch. A little, the Taoist boy on the side reminded: "This senior, the master is waiting in the temple, should we go in and talk about it?"
Big Eyes squeaked twice on his shoulder, and grimaced at the boy. Dao Tong didn't pay attention to it, just looked at him.
Liu Yiwen sighed back to his senses: "When I first came to your sect, it was indeed a blessed land. This boy is only a little over ten years old, and his proper behavior makes him secretly praise in his heart. It turned out that the forgotten dust that Master Hao said was already a senior in the Jindan period, which made his heart tighten.
The two Taoist priests in front of the door did not inquire when they saw this Taoist boy, and seemed to know their intentions.
Walking through a spacious courtyard, they walked into the main hall, they could smell a faint smell of sandalwood in their noses, and in front of the hall were enshrined the statues of the three Qing patriarchs, which made him awe-inspired! There were also many Taoist immortals painted on the walls on both sides, which were mighty and extraordinary.
The two walked through the main hall and climbed the steps, the peaks and pavilions were dense, there were Tibetan scripture floors, Dan rooms, guest halls and various halls. In the distance, there are several mountain peaks, and there is another heaven and earth above, and there is no lack of light in the sky.
In this way, I walked through several courtyards and came to a side room that looked like a living room. The door opened on both sides, and a gray-robed middle-aged Taoist priest sat on a sandalwood chair, holding a book in his hand, not knowing what he was contemplating. In front of the door, he seemed to be aware of it, closed the book in his hand, and looked up at Liu Yiwen.
The Taoist priest looks ordinary, but the bridge of the nose is plump, and the eyes are blazing.
Liu Yiwen gathered his mind, came to him and bowed, and said respectfully: "The junior Liu Yiwen was ordered by Uncle Hao to bring one thing here for the senior. Before entering the temple, he told the big eyes not to scream and lose their manners. The spirit monkey was able to speak the language, and obediently followed him at his feet.
Forget the dust and twist his beard, and said slowly: "There is a nephew, please take a seat." ”
Liu Yiwen hurriedly responded and sat down on the wooden chair under him. At some point, the boy offered each of them a cup of tea, and then stood on the other side.
Liu Yiwen sat upright, took out the square wooden box, and placed it on the wooden table at hand.
Seeing this, Wangchenzi raised his eyebrows, and gently raised his hand to probe, and the wooden box was taken into his hand. He took the box in his hand and stared at it for a moment, but did not open it, and then received that the robe was missing, and seemed to know what was inside.
After doing all this, he looked into the big eyes with great interest. After a few breaths, he smiled and said, "My nephew is really a blessed person, and this monkey is a spirit beast with a great background. ”
Liu Yiwen's heart moved, and he asked: "I also met it by chance, I don't know what kind of spirit animal this monkey is, and I ask my predecessors to give advice!"
Forget Chenzi twisted his beard and said: "This monkey is a descendant of Chihuai, and his water system magic power is not trivial, and there are few enemies in the water. It's a pity that it's still a young beast, and if it's an adult, it's comparable to a primordial monk. When the monkey heard someone talking about it, he grinned and grimaced.
Liu Yiwen was shocked in his heart, and said with a condensed face: "What?
Forget Chenzi smiled faintly: "It is precisely because it is a child that it will follow you, if you are an adult, you can still control it?"
Liu Yiwen smiled awkwardly and said, "It's the juniors who didn't think it through, which made the seniors laugh." ”
Forget Chenzi took a sip of tea, and said: "What does the nephew have to do here, I guess it won't be a special trip to send this thing." If you need it, I may be able to help. ”
Liu Yiwen hurriedly thanked him and said politely: "The junior is just passing by here, and he will leave Chu for Qi Realm later." ”
"Oh, you're going to Qi Realm!" Forget Chenzi glanced at him with some surprise, and said slowly.
Liu Yiwen was stunned in his heart, he didn't understand why this old man had such a reaction, and felt that he wanted to stop talking. But if you don't talk about it, he shouldn't ask more.
Forget Chenzi's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, and said in a deep voice: "Senior nephew, since I know that you are going to the Great Desert, I have to remind you." It's been a rough patch lately, so if it's not urgent, it's better to take a break. ”
Liu Yiwen was stunned for a moment, and said with a difficult face: "There is such a thing, but I do have an urgent matter to go to the Qi realm." ”
Forget Chenzi didn't say anything, but left his seat and walked to the window in a daze, Liu Yiwen quickly stood up and stood on one side.
After a while, Wangchenzi sighed lightly: "This matter is originally a secret in the sect, but the senior nephew is also a disciple of the eight major sects, so it must not spread to the outside world and cause panic." ”
Liu Yiwen said with a solemn face: "The disciple must be tight-lipped!"
After a little relaxation, he told the whole story.
The Great Desert was originally a vast sea of sand, although it was a Jedi in the eyes of mortals, but it was not enough for immortal cultivators. Because there are no fierce beasts living here, it has always been a passage between the immortal cultivation realms of Qi and Chu.
However, just three months ago, when an immortal cultivator passed by, he found that a strange black sandstorm suddenly appeared in this place, this sandstorm was not something that could be resisted by manpower, even if the immortal cultivator was involved in it, it would not be spared.
Shangqing Road is only more than 700 miles away from here, and since the founding of the sect, it has protected the safety of this side, so an investigation has also been made into this matter, and there is a Forgotten Dust Son involved.
As far as he could see, the black sandstorm resembled a giant mushroom, which was only about a dozen zhang in diameter at first, and within a few moments it would become several acres in size. It spins fast, and there is a great suction power within a radius of several miles.
What's even more terrifying is that this black sand has the miraculous effect of devouring mana, even if an immortal cultivator is involved in it, it will be more than lucky. Sandstorms appear silently, without warning, and are unguardable.
The black sandstorm sometimes has only a few clusters, and sometimes it can reach dozens of regiments, and the speed is so fast that ordinary flying magic weapons are afraid that they can't avoid it. If it happens, the consequences will be unimaginable.
After more than ten days of investigation, the people of Wangchenzi failed to figure out the ins and outs of the black sandstorm, so the matter was put aside for the time being. And the desert is no longer safe. In order to avoid panic, the matter has not been publicized to the public.
After listening to this, Liu Yiwen was in trouble and hesitated for a while.
Seeing that he was silent, Wangchenzi said, "It's getting late today, and my nephew is here for a night." It's good to think about it. ”
Liu Yiwen didn't have an idea for a while, and nodded silently.
